Aaduthurai Perumal Temple- Thirukoodalur.
This temple is located in between Kumbakonam and Thiruvaiyaryu road, in the place Aaduthurai. This is one of the 108 Divya desams.
History:
This temple is referred in both “Bramanda Puranam” and “Padma Puranam”. This reveals that Lord Thirumal when took “Varaha avatar” and came inside to this place of the earth.
Thirumangai Aalwar has sung Hymns in praise of this lord.
Once a ruler namely “Ambareshan” was living and he was a devotee of “Lord Vishnu”. Once sage “Dhuruvasar” came to his place and asked him to give the paalan of the Ekadesi veratham (Power he obtained from that Veratham). But Ambareshan didn’t notice the sage as he was meditating the Lord. But at that time Ekadesi theethi was over and “Dhuvadesi” arrived. Seeing that the sage became angry and cursed Ambareshan. On hearing that the ruler begins to worship “Maha Vishnu”, so the lord let this “Chakrayutham”, and that Chakra chased dhuruvasar. The sage at last surrendered to the lord and expressed sorry for his behavior, so the lord got back his Chakrayutham and relieved the sage at this temple.
So Ambareshan constructed a temple here and worshipped this lord. Once there was flood in Kaveri River which damaged this temple constructed by Ambareshan. So Lord Vishnu came to Rani Mangammal- the rani of Madurai dreams and told to construct the temple that was damaged. So the present temple situated is built by her.
