To acquire the Gnana Upadesa (knowledge and learning), Lord Brahma proceeded to Kailash. Brahma obtained the seeds of the Vilwa tree from Lord Shiva, who instructed him to plant them around the planet. According to Lord Shiva, the location of teaching will be where the seed becomes a tree in less than an hour. Thirukadayur is where it occurred. The temple honors Shiva, the Brahmanic teacher, with his shrine, Adhi Vilwa Vana Nather. Without kneeling before Lord Vinayaka, who simply struck the pot, the Devan began to drink the nectar. They pleaded with Vinayaka after realizing their insincerity, and after receiving it from Him, they deposited it in this Thirukadaiyur for Shiva Puja. Opening it showed Shiva Linga. Lord Shiva is known as Amirdha Kadeswarar since he manifested here as a Swayambu Linga from the Amirdha-nectar pot.

Thirukadaiyur temple History

As per the Legend, Lord Siva blessed long life for Markandeya as this place. Markandeya was relieved from the death rope of Yama. One can see the marks of the death rope on Siva Linga during Nijaroopa Darshan.

Another interesting folklore associated with this temple, Abirami Bhattar an ardent of Goddess Parvati while in deep meditation answered wrongly to the King Sarfoji as full moon day while it is No moon day. The King who got angered with irrelevant answer and order to behead Abirami Bhattar if Moon doesn’t appear in the sky on the same day. Abirami Bhattar was placed on a cradle with fire camp on the below and started cutting one thread (balancing cradle) each time when he finishes the hymn on Goddess Abirami. At the end of the 79th hymn, Goddess appeared before him and brought the moonlight by throwing her earring. The King pleaded Bhattar for his ignorance and honoured him. The main deity is called by Amruthakadeswarar and the Goddess Parvati here called by Abirami.

The deity here was self-manifested. As per the folklore, Devas started consuming Amruth without offering prayers to Vinayaka. Lord Vinayaka decided to teach a lesson for Devas, for which he kept the pot in secret place. Devas realised their mistake and offered prayers to Vinayaka. The pleased Vinayaka then returned the pot. Devas who then placed the pot in Thirudayur and offered prayers for Lord Siva. Devas opened the pot to consume the nectar at the end and noticed the Siva Linga emerged out of the Nectar Pot. Hence the deity called by Amrita Kadeswarar.

This temple was built during the reign of Cholas in 11th Century.

Temple is known for Shasti Poorthi at the ages of 60 and 80 years.
