திருப்பாசூர்
Tiruppasur, Tamil Nadu · 13.1408°, 79.8761°
A Shiva temple in Tiruvallur district revered in the 7th-century Saiva canon and counted among the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams. Chola inscriptions from Rajaraja I to Rajendra Chola III record grants and administrative agreements spanning centuries.
A cow is said to have poured milk over a mound here; when the king dug into it with a tool called a vasi blood flowed out, and Shiva later appeared to him in a dream as the snake charmer who had once saved his life.
