Thingalur, Tamil Nadu · 10.8867°, 79.1256°
One of the nine Navagraha temples of Tamil Nadu, assigned to the Moon, standing between Thanjavur and Kumbakonam. The site is praised in the 7th-century Tevaram as a Vaippu Sthalam, and its present masonry was built by the Nayaks over an earlier Chola complex.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
The moon god Chandra is said to have worshipped Kailasanathar here after a curse dimmed him, and to have regained his powers in return.
