TVT053 - sree umA paramEswari samEtha sree vanmeeganAthar temple, EmappEroor or Emaperur now known as thiruneipEru is 53rd thEvAra vaippu temple.CRfsT - caste refusal temples , temples which are breaking caste wise partiality,read naminandi adigal story.AvrT - avathAra place of sree maminandi adigaL, a nAyanAr,near to thiruvAroor. He used to light the lamps at Thiruvarur Temple with ghee. As some Jains made mockery at his act and dared to light the lamps with water, Naminandi Adigal could do nothing except praying the Lord. He heard a voice from the sky asking him to light the lamps with water from Kamalalayam Tank . The lamps thus lighted by the Nayanar stood throughout the night to tell the world how great his devotion was.
The birthplace of the Nayanar has a Shiva Temple which is in dilapidated state.The compound wall has collapsed. It is strange why this small temple is ignored by the locals and other devotees who regard the 63 Nayanmars in high esteem. There exists a small sannadhi for Naminandi Adigal with folded hands in the prakaram. There is also a separate shrine for him on the main road which is of recent origin. Philanthropists from Thiruvarur and other places should come forward to save the Shiva Temple from destruction.Kumbabishekam on 30.03.2018.
