Vaidyanathar Temple

Srivilliputhur, Tamil Nadu


Vaidyanathar Temple is located in Madavar Vilagam near Srivilliputhur in Virudhunagar of TN. Paramashiva is worshipped as Vaidyanathar who can cure any disease. Parvathi Devi is Shivakami Amman here.

Sthala Puranam says that, Once king Thirumalai Nayakar was suffering from severe stomach pain. Hearing about Vaidyanatha Swamy he arrived here & stayed for 48 days. He had food only after completing poojas in temple & was completely cured of disease. Temple tank is called Siddhamirtham which is believed to have Amrit.

Taking a dip in this tank is said to relieve from all illness. Another story is about a pregnant lady who was a great Shiva Bhakt. She asked her mother to come to help her but her mother was unable to reach her. The lady herself started to walk to her mother's home

But on the way developed labour pain. She called out for Paramashiva who came as her mother and helped in delivering child. Thus this temple is also famous for pregnancy related issues.

Om Nama Shivaya
