About Temple: Arulmigu Paraithurainathar Swamy Temple
is a Hindu Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva located at Thirupparaithurai in Trichy District of Tamilnadu.
The site is also called as Tharukavanam in Sanskrit language. During the period of Raja Raja Chola II, it was called as Rajagambiranallur.
It is believed that the temple was built during the reign of Parantaka Chola I in 10th century AD (however, the temple was present in a different form (probably as a brick temple) at least from the 7th century AD). It is located on the banks of the river Akanda Kaveri (the widest point in the course of the river Cauvery).
Presiding Deity is called as Tharuka Vaneswarar / Paraithurai Nathar and Mother is called as Hemavarnaambal / Pasumponmyilambal. The sun's rays illuminate the sanctum on the 18th day of the Tamil month of Purattasi.
Meditating under the Parai tree here is considered very special. The temple is praised in the hymns of Saints Gnanasambandhar, Thirunavukkarasar and Arunagiriar.
This is the 120th Devaram Paadal Petra Shiva Sthalam and 3rd Sthalam on south side of river Cauvery of Chozha Naadu.
Festivals:
Vaikasi Brahmmotsavam in May-June and the First Aipasi Thula Snana in October-November are the festivals celebrated in the temple.
Every year in the first day of Aippasi month devotees take a holy dip in the Kaveri River. Doing the first “Muzhukku” (dip) here on the first day of Aippasi and taking the last Muzhukku on the last day of Aippasi in the Cauvery river of Mayiladuthurai is considered to be very auspicious.
Kadai Muzhukku, a bath in Cauvery at Mayiladuthurai on the last date of Aipasi (October-November) is taken by devotees while the first on the first Aipasi takes place in Paraithurai. It is the firm belief of the devotees that this bathing would cleanse them of their sins.
