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.
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.
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.
