History:

• The temple is incarnated by the hymns of Thevaram, the 7th century Tamil literature and is classified as Paadal Petra Sthalam. This is the 100th Devaram Paadal Petra Shiva Sthalam and 46th sthalam on the north side of river Cauvery in Chozha nadu. Moovar has sung hymns in praise of Lord Shiva of this temple.
• Thiruppurambiyam was the fierce battlefield in the 9th century deciding the bright future
  of Cholas. Chola King Aditya I built a temple in sweet remembrance of the turn of the tide in his favour
  and named it Aditeswaram. The present name of the presiding deity is Sakshinathar and the consort,
  Kuraivialla Azhagi (beauty unsurpassed).
  
• The sanctum of the consort was built by Rajaraja Chola I. The sanctum wall contains beautiful
  sculptures of Parivara devatas (other deities of Siva temple). Lord Ganesa, the elephant god is
  performed honey ablution on the day of Vinayagar Chathurthi and all honey passed is absorbed.
  
• On the Vinayaka Chathurthi day, Lord Pralayamkatha Vinayaka abishek is performed with honey. The
  wonder is that the honey used for abishek does not flow out. No abishek is done during other days.
  
• This is one of 24 sacred places attributed to Lord Dakshinamurthy. Sage Agasthya, Brahmma, four
  Sanakathi rishis and Sage Vishwamitra worshipped here. King Haridwajan, suffering from a disease
  called Muyalagam due to the curse of Sage Durvasa got cured in this temple by the grace of Lord Shiva.
