Greatness Of Temple: The name of the place derives from the story that two kings fought against the other in this place. This was Peranimallur in the beginning. In course of time, this changed as Peranamallur. It is also said that as a dam was later built across the Panai River, it was named Peranamanallur. During his journey to Pazhayari, Chola King stayed for a rest. Hence, this was the capital for many surrounding villages. Temple History:The temple was built by Kochengat Chola, a staunch Shiva devotee. Panaiaru river was flowing through this place dense with trees. He built the temple on the banks of the river. A shrine was also built for Mother Tiripurasundari. As the temple is on a river karai (bank) and also as the destination for a devotee to reach the shores of salvation, Lord Shiva is named as Tirukarai Easwarar bearing this meaning.
