Temple History : Goddess Parvathi born as a daughter to a Pandya king ‘Malayadhvajan’. Parvathi was called at Madurai as Meenakshi. Lord Shiva married Parvathi, and become king of Madurai. . It has been an ancient custom to perform pooja to Shiva lingam, before assuming any important positions or initiating major tasks. Accordingly, the Lord appears here in a posture, performing pooja to the Shiva lingam. By Hindu belief, generally one gets absolved to the sins committed during the current birth in the next birth; however, worshipping the Lord here is believed to absolve the sins in the current birth itself. Hence the name ‘Immayilum Nanmai Tharuvar’ for the deity.
