On the sacred bank of Manimuthar (Puniya Nadhi), there is an ancient Tirukkovil dedicated to Lord Siva. It is in heart of Vridhachalam (திருமுதுகுன்றம்)விருத்தாசலம், a flourishing town of South Arcot district. It is fairly a big temple with all the indispensable parts, like the prakara, tower, courtyards, mandapams, garbha griha etc., and is attracting a steady stream of theists. The local names given for Siva is Vriddhagireeswarar and Vriddambigai (Virudhakasi), for Mother Parvathi. Its vast courtyards and well sculptural minishrines display its former splendor, and the sports demonstrated by the presiding deity. The great Navalar Sundarar visited and offered lyrical flowers to the Lord. It is said that the Lord blessed the deserving devotees with Panchakshari mantra and they turned divinities. These are two sannidhis for Mother Parvathi called in the local names of Balambikai and Vriddhambikai. It has many donors who endowed several valuable articles and among them a British collector's gift - a grand long chain for the temple chariot deserves mention.

Virudhachalam is one of the 22 places of saivate pilgrimage in Tamilnadu. It is one of the place giving salvation to the departed. It is even considered holier than Holy Kasi i.e. Varanasi. People in the past believed that Pazamalainathar himself the presiding diety here used to ulter Panchatchara Mandiram into the ears of dead. Hence in olden days people of Virudhachalam never bothered to undertake a pilgrimage to Varanasi when they become old and weak. As a result this place is also come to known as Virudhakasi.
This temple has been constructed according to Agama Shastram and it has five Gopurams, five Praharams, five Nandhhi, five Kodimarm and five holy Cars.
Sri Thiruganasambhandar, Sri Thirunavukarasar, saint Sundrar had sung the golory of Pazhamalainathar.
It is to be noted that goddess is worshipped in the form of elderly lady called Periyayahi alias Virudhambihai. At this request of guru Namasivayar she also took the form of young women with the name Balambihai. Vannimaram is the Holy tree.
