History & tradition
Vaseeswarar Temple, also called the Thirupasoor or Pasoornathar temple, is in Thirupasoor village in the Tiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu, about 5 km from Tiruvallur on the road to Tiruttani and beside the Poondi reservoir. Shiva is worshipped here as Vaseeswarar in the form of a lingam, and Parvati as Pasupathinayagi. The deity is mentioned in the 7th-century Tevaram, so the shrine is a Paadal Petra Sthalam. The complex covers about an acre, its shrines enclosed by concentric rectangular walls.
