History & tradition
Pushpavananathar Temple is in the village of Tiruppoonturutti near Thiruvaiyaru in Tamil Nadu. Shiva is worshipped here in the form of a lingam, and Parvati as Soundaranayagi. The deity is praised in the 7th-century Tevaram, so the shrine is counted among the Paadal Petra Sthalams. The temple is closely linked with the saint Thirunavukkarasar, or Appar, who is believed to have served here by clearing the temple grounds, and with the saint Sambandar, who came to meet him.
