Virudhachalam is one of the 22 places of saivate pilgrimage in Tamilnadu. It is one of the place giving
salvation to the departed. It is even considered holier than Holy Kasi i.e. Varanasi. People in the past
believed that Pazamalainathar himself the presiding diety here used to ulter Panchatchara Mandiram
into the ears of dead. Hence in olden days people of Virudhachalam never bothered to undertake
a pilgrimage to Varanasi when they become old and weak. As a result this place is
also come to known as Virudhakasi.This temple has been constructed according
to Agama Shastram and it has five Gopurams, five Praharams,
five Nandhhi, five Kodimarm and five holy Cars.Sri Thiruganasambhandar, Sri Thirunavukarasar
, saint Sundrar had sung the golory of Pazhamalainathar.
It is to be noted that goddess is worshipped in the form of elderly lady called Periyayahi alias
Virudhambihai. At this request of guru Namasivayar she also took the form of young women with
the name Balambihai. Vannimaram is the Holy tree.
