The story

Talapurisvarar Temple is a Shiva temple at Tiruppanangadu in Tamil Nadu, a place known in the past as Vanpartthan Panangattur. It has two presiding deities, Talapurisvarar (also called Panangattisvarar) and Kirubapurisvarar, whose consorts are Kirubanayaki and Amirtavalli. The palm is its sacred tree. Because the saint Sundarar sang of it, it is classed as a Paadal Petra Sthalam.

Several festivals fill the temple calendar. Brahmotsavam falls in the Tamil month of Masi, Annabishegam, when boiled rice is poured over the deity's image, takes place in October–November, and Arudra Darshan is held in December–January.
