Thirumanancheri Temple
Mayiladuthurai, Tamil Nadu


Thirumanancheri Temple is located in Mayiladuthurai District of Tamil Nadu. Paramashiva is Kalyanasundareswarar & Parvathi Devi as Kokilambal. Temple is very famous Parihara Sthalam for Marriage related issues.

It is believed that Paramashiva married Parvati Devi here. Thirumanan means marriage. Thirumanancheri refers to the place where marriages take place. Story says that once Parvati expressed her wish to get married to Paramashiva in Earth.

As a result Devi took the form of cow. Mahavishnu, Devi's brother took the form of cowherd to protect her. From the divine fire of Bharata muni ashram, Devi transformed to her original form and thus divine marriage between Paramashiva and Parvathi Devi took place here.

It is also believed that, during the marriage of Paramashiva and Parvathi Devi, Agasthya Muni came here and did Prathista of Vigraham. Parihara poojas to remove marriage related issues are very common here and after marriage takes place couples should visit here to complete their poojas.

Om Nama Shivaya
