The temple is situated in the village of Tirupunkur or Thirupunkur which lies about 3 miles west of Vaitheeswaran Koil.The temple is associated with the legend of the Saivite saint Nandanar who was one of the 63 Nayanmars.</p> <p>While being a Dalit, Nandanar was not allowed inside the temple, the idol of Nandi within the temple precincts moved a few inches at the command of Shiva so as not to obstruct Nandanar's view from the gate of the shrine.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="Tiruppunkur8.jpg" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/Tiruppunkur8.jpg/220px-Tiruppunkur8.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p>Tirunavukkarasar describes the feature of the deity of Tirupunkur and Thiruneedur as:</p> <p>கையெலாம் நெய்பாயக் கழுத்தே கிட்டக் கால்நிமிர்த்து நின்றுண்ணுங் கையர் சொன்ன<br /> பொய்யெலாம் மெய்யென்று கருதிப் புக்குப் புள்ளுவரா லகப்படா துய்யப் போந்தேன்<br /> செய்யலலெஞ் செழுங்கமலப் பழன வேலித் திருப்புன்கூர் மேவிய சிவலோ கனை<br /> நெய்தல்வாய்ப் புனற்படப்பை நீடூ ரானை நீதனேன் என்னேநான் நினையாவாறே.</p> <p> </p>
