Mohanur, Namakkal district, Tamil Nadu · 11.0531°, 78.1454°
A guardian-deity temple at Mohanur in Namakkal district, reckoned between five hundred and a thousand years old, whose deity the local ruler Mohur Pazhayan is said to have consulted before taking decisions. A naval tree and a neem tree in the precinct are themselves objects of worship, and the temple was reconsecrated in June 2018.
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.
After the Chera king Senguttuvan worshipped here before marching north, the naval tree beside the shrine withered, and the deity came to be called Navaladian, the one of the naval tree.
