Kuladeivam 1.Mangalambikai samedha "Vamsodhdharakar" at Perungalur & 2.Vaitheeswaran Koil

Lo
"Mangalambikai samedha "Vamsodhdharakar" - Our Kuladeivam (குல தெய்வம்)  at Perungalur 18 kms from pudukottai. 


The main temple here is for Lord Siva and his consort, known as "Vamsodhdharakar" and "Mangalambikai". This temple has an interesting story behind it. Kulothunga Chola -Third, of Chola dynasty who did not have children offered prayers for progeny, before Lord Siva for continuance of his dynasty. In response to his prayers Lord told him to install a Siva Linga facing east and another facing west and continue his payers to them. The Temple where the Deity is facing west is in Perungalur. In due course Lord answered his prayers and blessed him with children to continue his dynasty. Thus the Deity here is called "Vamsodhdharakar" meaning "perpetuater of dynasty".

The Temple festivals take place in the Tamil Months of Vaikasi (April-May) and Aadi (July-August) for ten days. People from villages around Perungalur also join the locals during this period to arrange for the celebrations. The entire village is decorated in a big way for the festivals. There is an unique custom here.At the end of the festival the locals give Thamboolam to out side Villagers as a mark of conveying thanks to them for their help.

Apart from the Siva Temple there is a Temple for Ayyappan named "Malayamarungar" and an Ayyanar temple called "Urumunathar"in Perungalur. "Malayamarungar (Malayappan) is considered a powerful God. The Poojaris who perform Pooja in this Temple are called "Padimathar".

 "Urumunathar" temple is situated little farther away from the other two temples. Some restrictions like that of in Sabarimalai are applicable to ladies in this Ayyanar temple of "Urumunathar".

  3. Hi

    Nice to read your blog. Our kula deiyvam kovils are also the ones you mentioned in Perungalur. Is there a Whatsapp or google group for all the folks worshipping the same kula deiyvam? It might help in planning joint trips and also upkeep of the temples / pond. The temple pond in Perungalur was in very bad shape when I visited 2 years back.

    Regards
