LEGENDSThis Legend is associated with Lingothbavar. Maha Vishnu and Brahma had an argument regarding who is great. To decide, Lord Shiva gave a solution. Who ever found out the start and end of Lord Shiva will be greatest. Lord Shiva stood in the form of Column of fire. Brahma flew to top in the form of an anna bird and Maha Vishnu took the form of Varaha, went down. Maha Vishnu accepted his defeat and Brahma lied by saying he had seen the top of Lord Shiva by showing a Thazhampoo as a proof. Lord Shiva cursed Brahma that he should not have any temples. To get rid of the curse Brahma installed 12 Shiva Lingas and worshiped. This Shiva Linga is one of the 12 ( Dwadhasa ) Shiva Lingas. Hence Lord Shiva is called as Sri Brahmapureeswarar.
In another legend, Brahma with the 5 heads the creator of this universe, over proud of his powers and behaves that he is more powerful Than Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva plucked the fifth head and made him to be powerless. Realized his mistake, prayed to Lord Shiva to pardon him. As advised, Brahma came to this place Thirpattur installed 12 ( Dwadasa Lingas ) Shiva Lingas and worshiped him. Satisfied his worship Lord Shiva gave back his powers of creation.
Devotees worships Brahma, whose bad destines to change for good, people with lesser sins will be corrected, attack of decease will change, pregnant woman will get normal delivery without surgeries, to avoid waste expenses, a student habitually failing will shine.
