There is no doubt to rule over Sivalokam after death

Thirupugalur 

Golden gifts.

A devotee of his is celebrated under the name of Kol-puli-Nayanar. At his earnest request Sundarar visited him and was received with extraordinary pomp, the chieftain bringing out his two daughters, whom he presents to him to be his slaves. The saint receives them with the words 'They shall be my daughters', and in the kindliest manner conversed with them and gave them presents. The incident throws light upon the habits and feelings of the time. From thence Sundarar returned home, and found that Paravaiyar was, as usual, in want of supplies, and the more so as a great feast was at hand. Accordingly he set out to the town of Pugalur and going to the temple implored the assistance of the god, and afterwards retiring to the neighbouring monastery (or choultry), gathered together some bricks which had been brought in for repairs, and piled them up as a kind of pillow, spreading over them his upper garment. He thus went to sleep, and when he awoke, behold! the bricks were gold, a wonderful circumstance which he commemorated in a suitable ode.

Greatness of Thirupugalur Temple 

This is the sacred land where Saint Tirunavukkarasar respectfully known as Appar Adigal attained salvation after serving the Lord by cleaning Shiva temple grounds and paths to enable devotees to walk comfortably with an instrument in his hands called Uzhavaram.  This land is praised as Salvation Centre.  Appar festival begins 10 days before Chithirai Sadayam Star dayin April-May.  The events includes his home coming from the Jains, the greatness of his Uzhavaram, dance of Deva women and his merging with Lord at the midnight of the fourth day festival.  Every devotee would be moved to see this episode only with tears in his/her eyes.

There are two shrines in the same temple for Saint Appar Adigal and Saint Sundarar.  Lord Agnipureeswar (Swayambumurthi), also praised as Sharanyapureeswarar, Pratyaksha Varadar and Konapiran is gracing devotees from a shrine.  Mother Karundhar Kuzhali, also praised as Sulikambal blesses devotees from other shrine.  Lord Vardamaneswarar and Mother Manonmani are in a separate shrine.  Muruga Nayanar served Lord Vardamaneswara by preparing garlands for Him.

This is also the place where Agni Bhagwan worshipped Lord Shiva and got relieved from a curse.  Though he has no form as such, he appears here with two faces, 7 hands, 7 jwala sparks, four horns and 3 feet.  This is a rare Agni Bhagwan idol.

Lord changed the bricks into gold bars for Saint Sundarar in this holy place.  Those building new houses bring bricks to the temples for vasthu and bhoomi puja to make the new building all prosperous.  Also, Mother Karundhar Kuzhali was gifted with a piece of land for her services to a woman in labour pain and is praised as Sulikambal.  There is no and will not be any infant or maternal mortality in this place, a belief people strongly hold.

The temple has a single shrine for Emperor Nala and Sani Bhagwan in the temple.  After Nala came out of a bath from the Bana Theertha, a voice from Sani Bhagwan said that He would leave the king from his adverse aspects at Tirunallar 7 km far from this place.  Saturn-Sani Bhagwan is this temple is praised as Anugraha Sani – merciful Sani.

The grace of Mother Karundhar Kuzhali towards Her devotees is boundless.  Sool in Tamil means pregnancy.  As She took care of a woman during her labour time and ensured safe delivery of the child, She is praised as Sulikambal.  Women strongly believe that nothing untoward would happen to them or the child as they under the direct grace of Mother Sulikambal.  People pray to Her offering vastras for child boon. 

Three Murthis in the temple, Bhoodeshwarar, Varthamaneswarar and Bhavishyeswarar are the symbols of past, present and future.  This is the birth place of Muruga Nayanar who worshipped Varthamaneswarar offering garlands made by him.  He has three faces – human, bird and a swine.  As devas sought asylum here for protection from the threats of demons, the place is also praised as Pugazhoor.

Vasthu purity is an important basis for constructing buildings.  This is a science that deals with the designing of the apartments in a particular direction – Kitchen, bathrooms, main hall, bedrooms etc. – at appropriate sides.  This would avoid any invisible troubles entering then.This is a temple noted for Vasthu prayer.  Before beginning the construction, people use to bring the bricks to the temple, perform archanas and take them back for the building work.
