History
Parvati was born to Sage Bharatha in Kuthalam near Tiruvelvikudi. She performed penance for 16 Mondays on Lord Shiva to have His hand as Her Lord. Mother made a Linga of sand for the penance. On the 17th Monday, Lord appeared before Parvathi as Manavaleswarar and promised to marry her. Accordingly, the rituals were conducted with Brahma being the head priest for this divine marriage. Hence, the place is named Tiru Velvikudi.
Importance/Significance
According to legends, the wedding of a princess was to take place with a prince here, but her parents died before the event. The bride canceled the marriage.
