“S
apthamangai thalams are thiruchakkarapalli, ariyamangai, soolamangai, nandimangai,
pasumangai, thazhamangai and pullamangai. These temples are located near ayyampet,
thanjavur district . Tiruvaiyaru sapthasthan is famous but kudantha , karantha ,
thanjavur and tiruchakkarapalli sapthasthans are also unique. As the tiruchakkarapalli
sapdasthan sites are associated with sapdamangaiyar , the seven-place festival known
as sapdastana festival is celebrated with extra specialness in the region. The good
news is that these seven inscriptions belong to the chola period and are accompanied
by inscriptional evidence. The beginning and the end are from the gnanasambandara
pathikam. All are south bank of cauvery . The seven-day festival is held here for
two whole days. It is believed that during the festival of pangunith, if anavidya
nathasarma walks along the elur, he will get the grace of saptamangai and get rid
of all the evils.
