History:
This is one of the 276 Devara Paadal Petra Shiva Sthalams and 39th Shiva Sthalam on the northern bank of the river Cauvery in Chozha Nadu (Vadakarai).
Lord Shiva in this temple is a Swayambumurthi (self-manifested).
This west facing temple has 4 corridors (2 inner and 2 outer) and it has a 7-tiered main tower (Rajagopuram).
The last consecration ceremony (Kumbabishekam) took place on 06.07.2003.
Of the 276 Paadal Petra Shivasthalams, six temples have Palm trees (Panai) as their Sthala Viruksham. These are Panaiyur, Panankattur, Puravaar Panankattur, Cheyyar, Thirumazhapadi and Thiruppanandal.
Since Lord Shiva is believed to have emerged from under the temple’s sthala viruksham, this place gets the name Thiru Pananthal. (“Panai” means palm tree in Tamil).
There are certain stone inscriptions which date back to the periods of Chola Kings Kulothungan-I, Rajarajan-II and few others. The stone inscriptions in this temple mentioned its name as Thala Vanam and Thadagai Echaram. The lord’s name is mentioned as “Sri Thadagecharathu Mahadevar”. This temple was built in stone by a local king called Nakkandharan. The stone inscription also mentions Kungiliyakkalaya Nayanar’s wife’s name as Neelayi.
Thala Vanam is derived at from the words “Thala” meaning palm tree and “Vanam” meaning forest in Sanskrit.
Kasi mutt (Thiruppanandal Aadheenam) established by Sri Kumara Gurubara Swamigal is located in this town.
