Shri Brahammagnana Pureeswarar Temple Form Thiruvarur

  • Explore the Charm of Temple's Peculiarity

Situated in the peaceful village of Keezha Korukkai, this ancient temple exudes a timeless charm, dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva and his consort, Goddess Pushpavathi. While it may show signs of age and is somewhat hidden among overgrown pathways, visiting this sacred site is believed to inspire a renewed sense of purpose and fresh beginnings in life.

  • A Bit of Mythology

Imagine this: a great sage named Gorakka Siddha stopped by this village long ago. After a tiring journey, he chose to rest in a nearby hut. Upon waking up (imagine his surprise!), he found a woman sleeping next to him, her saree’s end clutched in his hand. Startled & determined to maintain his purity, he cut off his own hand! Praying earnestly to Lord Shiva for forgiveness, the sage was blessed & had his hand restored — thus giving the village its name: Korukkai.

  • Temple Speciality

This temple stands out from other Shiva shrines as it features not one, but two Nandis—the sacred bulls, one dedicated to Lord Shiva and the other to Goddess Pushpavathi. Devotees believe that offering garlands made of cashews and groundnuts to these Nandis can significantly change their fortunes, ushering in luck and prosperity while dispelling struggles.
