(Supreme Healer-Lord curing diseases like a doctor)
The place is also called Pullirukuvelur. The temple is around 15

important places around. The nearest airport is at Trichy while
there is a seperate station for Vaideeswaran koil on the
Villupuram-Mayavaram route.
The temple is among the Navagraha sthalam(Place) and is
prominent for Chevvai or Mars. The presiding deity is Lord Shiva
in the form of Vaidhyanathaswami and Parvathi ammal as Thaiyal
nayaki. Lord Vaideeswaran is said to have cured Chevvai of
leprosy and the Lord's name itself means the Lord curing diseases
like a doctor. He is said to be the supreme healer. The goddess
also has a medicine oil pot called Sanjeevi thailam in her hands
and the temple tank Siddamirtham is also said to be full of
medicinal properties after the nectar which the Siddhars used for
worship Lord Shiva flew into the tank. Devotees offer Salt, pepper
and jaggery in the temple tank to get cured of all diseases.
Tuesdays are considered auspicious to pray to Angaraksha.
Vaideeswaran koil is also famous for Naadi Jothisham. The
siddhars had the power to look into the past and predict future
for every individual. They wrote all those predicitions on palm
leaves and these have been preserved. The Naadi astrologers
take the finger print of the person and start matching it with the
huge amount of leaves to arrive at the past and future.
OM NAMAH SHIVAYA
May Lord Shiva Bless us all with Happiness,
Prosperity, and Health & Wisdom!!
