தென்குடித்திட்டை
Thittai (Thenkudithittai), Tamil Nadu · 10.8369°, 79.1722°
A Chola-built Paadal Petra Sthalam at Thenkudithittai near Thanjavur, hymned by Sambandar and Appar; a Chandrakanta stone in the vimana drips water on the lingam every 24 minutes, and the temple is a noted shrine of Guru (Brihaspati), who stands in a separate sanctum.
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 great deluge only this mound stayed above water, where Brahma and Vishnu found a lingam and worshipped it until Shiva appeared and restored their offices.
