From wikipedia:

Near the Kamandala Naga Nadhi River there is an old temple known as Shri Puthra Kamateeswara Thirukoil which is famous for Puthra Kameshti yoga. People who do not have children do this yoga on auspicious days. It is said that the Ayodhya king Dasaratha did Puthra Kameshti yoga in this temple and thus Rama was born. There is an idol of Dasaratha at the entrance of the temple to commemorate this.

A Temple called arulmigu visalakshi sameda arulmigu viswanatheswaran, situated in kalpoondi village on vazhapandal road is about 500 years old and is considered to be an equal to kasi temple. Opposite the Shri Puthra Kamateeswar temple one more sivan temple is there at pazhanggamoor The temple name is kasi vishvanadar kovil its power like kasi temple.

It's a quiet interesting to note that on the one side on the banks of kamandala naga river near pazhangamoor a tepmle of puthra kameshti eswara is situated where the Maha chakravarthy Dhasaratha performed a penance for puthra kameshti yaga as a result of which raghu vamsa Rama and three others were born in kamba ramayana in tamil in thiru avathara padalam it is well said

valaiyodu thigiriyum vadavaithedhara vilaitharu karu vudai vikol payalum ilayavar ena adi paravi ehinan valai madil ayodhdhiyil varudhumenranan

further masarathan manaiyavum varamum vazhvumor nizharatdha kanaikalal neeru seiya yam kasa raga thuraga mak kadal kol kavalavalan dasarathan madhalai yai varudhum tharani


. on the other on the south of arani a village called paiyur where virupachieswarar temple( a ruined monument remains of visalakshi samedha virupaksheeswarar )(supposed to be northeast end ) where pattinathu pillaiyar (Pattinathar)has dedicated a song to the virupaksheswarar situated paiyur as under

"மாதா உடல் சலித்தாள்; வல்வினையேன் கால் சலித்தேன் வேதாவும் கை சலித்து விட்டானே -நாதா இருப்பையூர் வாழ் சிவனே, இன்னுமோர் அன்னை கருப்பையூர் வாராமற் கா!" on the north and north west of this village the karia manicka perumal temple and Ponniamman teple are also situated,adding virtues to these significance .

that means one side the maha chakravarthi is praying for a birth of a child and god himself is planning to incoronate in human form the great avathar of Rama

and on the other side pattinathar a sanyasin having prayed to lord shiva that there should be no rebirth as having been tired of born repeatedly in various mothers stomuch and in various life all the mothers haven been tired and having wandered variuos places in various births the begotten child have also been tired and lord brahma himself has been tired of having given variuous life and birth to him. there need to be research on the significance attached to puthra kameteshwarar temple both mythologically and scientifically for the presence availability of any specialised herbal medicines in Aarani
