Garbarakshambigai Temple History:

Formerly a sage named Nidhruva lived here in an ashram along with Dharmapatni Vedika. When they used to worship Lord Shiva and perform Vihita Karmacharan, the couple used to spend time happily. But the only problem they have is childlessness. Both of them especially worshipped Lord Parvati and Lord Shiva for procreation. One fine day the sage was conceived. One day Naidhruva goes out to meet Lord Varuna. Then the sage is in the third quarter.

When the birth was to take place in a few days. One day when Nidhruva Maharshi was out, a sage named Urthvapadu came to the ashram. By that time Vediki, who was tired with housework and resting, didn’t notice that he had come and did not show hospitality to Maharishi. Enraged by that, Urthva Pada curses her not knowing that she is pregnant.

With that curse she starts suffering from a strange disease. Consequently, not only her body parts but also the unborn child starts being eaten away. Immediately she is suffering from aarti and prays to that goddess Parvati who is the embodiment of all auspiciousness.

Mother Avyajakarunamurti appeared immediately and saved the foetus by placing it in a sacred pot. The baby saved in this way grows up in that pot and a beautiful child is born. His name is Naidruvan. Then the baby born will be nursed by Kamadhenu (Cow) and satisfy his hunger. In the meantime, Nidhruva Maharishi, who reached the ashram, was very happy and prayed to Shiva Parvati to stay here and grant protection to those who take refuge in you for generations to come. Lord Shiva parvati who were blessed by the sage’s prayer are known as Garbarakshambika and Mullaivanathar in this place. Still, with the grace of Amman, pregnant women who visit this place have a very good delivery and give birth to good children.

Special features of the temple:

Lord Shiva who is here as Mallaivanathar is Swami who shines as Swayambhu. This is one of the sixty-four Kshetras where Shiva shines as Swayambhu. Here the Shiva lingam is made of putta mannu(Sand) therefore the lord is not anointed here with water, but only with jasmine oil. This field is also known as Madhavi field. Madhavi means Jasmine in Sanskrit. Another special feature of the temple is that every year in the Tamil Phalguna month, the moon’s rays fall on the Shivalinga on the full moon.
