This weeks episode is about "Arulmigu Neelamega Perumal Thirukkovil,Thanjavur".
:This temple is located just 10 kms away from Thanjavur city center on the banks of Venn River.
There
are 3 temples in and around the river within reach of one km each.
Legend says that there were 3 demons -
Thanjakan,Gajamugan,
Dhandakasuran who worshipped Lord shiva
and tried to get immortal boon .But Lord shiva assured them of not
having death from him. These 3 demons went on torturing the whole world.When
they were torturing Saint parasurar, Lord visnhu used Sakrayutha to
kill Thanjakan-hence the name thanjakanur later became Thanjavur. Gajamugan took the form of Elephant and Lord vishnu took
Narasimha avatar and killed him-hence the name Thanjai-Yaali. Lord
Vishnu took Varaha avatar to kill Dhandakasuran.-That's SriMushnam.
