History & tradition
Neyyadiappar Temple is in the village of Thillaisthanam, also called Thiruneithanam, in Tamil Nadu. Shiva is worshipped here as Neyyadiappar in the form of a lingam, and Parvati as Piraisoodi Amman. It is one of the Saptasthanam, the seven temples linked with the Aiyarappar temple at Thiruvaiyaru, and its deity is praised in the 7th-century Tevaram, making it a Paadal Petra Sthalam. The temple is believed to have been built by Aditya Chola I in the 9th century, with important additions by later Chola kings and the Thanjavur Nayaks. It has a five-tiered gopuram.
