The story

Pathanchali Manoharar Temple is a Hindu temple at Vilamal, also referred to as Tiruvilamar, in Tiruvarur district, Tamil Nadu. Shiva is the presiding deity, worshipped in the form of Pathanchali Manoharar, and his consort Parvati is known here as Yazhinum Menmozhiyaal.

The temple is one of the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams, the Shiva shrines honoured in the Tevaram, the early medieval hymns of the Tamil Saivite saints. It earned that standing through the verses of Tirugnanasambandar, who sang of the deity here.
