Aravindalochanar Perumal Temple (Irattai Tirupati
Temple), Tholavillimangalam, Thoothukudi – Legends
As per
Legends, a rishi named Athreya Suprabha rishi maintained a yaga Salai. When he
was cleaning the yaga Salai, he found a bright equilibrium and a bow. On
touching those two, it changed into beautiful men and a woman. They both
explained him that they were changed into the tarasu and the bow because of the
poorvajenma sabham; His touch gave them both sabhavimocchan and got Paramapadha
Mukthi. Since, this sthalam is named as “Thulam Vil Mangalam” and as the years
passed the name changed to “Tholai villi Mangalam”.
