Thirupampuram Rahu Ketu Temple Legends

It is said that many Naga kings, including Adisesha ( Vishnu’s couch), Takshaka and Karkotaka worshipped Siva at this place, thus the Lord Siva here called by Thirunageswaram.

Once it happened that, when Vinayaka offering prayers to Lord Siva, Naga which lies around the neck of Lord Siva felt proud as if Vinayaka was worshiping him too, knowing this Lord Siva cursed Naga’s family to lose their Spiritual powers.

In order to regain their spiritual powers, Adisesha along with other serpents offered prayers to the Siva Idols which were at the three different places at three different timings. In the early hours, pooja was offered to the Siva Idol at Kudanthai, at noon it was at Thirunageswaram and in the evening it was at Thirupampuram. Lord Siva was pleased with their sincere prayers and blessed them all with their spiritual powers.
