History

According to mythology, Lord Shiva destroyed and created Brahma at five places known as “Mayanams”. After Lord Shiva destroyed Brahma, life on earth was severely affected. So, the Devas visited this place and requested Shiva to revive Brahma. After Brahma back came to life, Lord Shiva gave Brahma the “Shiva Gnanam” in this place. Hence, it is also called the “Thiru Meignanam” making it one of the most revered Thirukadaiyur temples.
