The Legend: Why Lord Shiva Worshipped Vishnu Here

The Sthala Puranam (history) of Thirukandiyur is fascinating. According to legend, Lord Brahma originally had five heads, making him equal to Lord Shiva. In a moment of arrogance, Brahma disrespected Shiva. Enraged, Shiva plucked off Brahma’s fifth head.

However, because he had severed a head of Brahma (the creator), Lord Shiva was afflicted with Brahmahathi Dosham (a severe curse). The skull of Brahma stuck fast to Shiva’s palm and would not fall off. Shiva wandered the earth as a mendicant (Bhikshatana) seeking relief.

When Shiva reached Thirukandiyur and prayed to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Kamalavalli, they granted him darshan. Lord Vishnu asked Shiva to bathe in the temple tank (Kapala Theertham). Upon doing so, the skull finally detached from Shiva’s hand.

Hence, Lord Vishnu here is worshiped as Hara Saabha Vimocchana Perumal—the Lord who liberated Hara (Shiva) from his curse.

Why Visit?

If the Supreme Lord Shiva sought relief here, imagine the solace regular devotees can find. It is believed that worshipping here relieves one of severe doshas, mental stress, and ancestral curses.
