Tiruppoonturutti, Tamil Nadu · 10.8619°, 79.0820°
A Paadal Petra Sthalam near Thiruvaiyaru and one of the Saptha Sthanam temples, revered in the Tevaram; its 9th-century Chola core grew through Vijayanagar and Nayak times, and it is noted for a seated image of Appar and a Durga standing on one leg.
Indra, cursed by Gautama with a thousand marks, is said to have been cleansed after worshipping here with flowers — poo — which named the lord Pushpavananathar.
