In thiruvadi both sridevi and boodevi thayar doing the pada seva. It is very difficult to view the tiruvadi. Bhattar is very patient. Giving elaborate explanations we enjoyed it. it is saint valmiki’s birth place. Urchavar is one the six azhagars. He is very beautiful. Named Vadivazhagiya nimbi.

There was a Hunter. He was threatening or killing the persons who are passing the forests for foods and money. One day sage narada was passing thru the forest. He was caught by hunter. He told the hunter what ever the deeds you do, you have to repent for it. It is not shared by your family members. But the hunter is furious hearing this & told Naradha his family will support him. To confirm that he tied naradha in a tree and found that their family members told what ever the misdeeds hunter does for the family he only has to face consequences. Then he got the gyanam from naradha and repeated the nama japa of rama later he was know as Valmiki

Thantonri malai, 14th May 2010

Story
A devotee named somasarama visited various temple wishing for child. On his way he reaches the place where river Amaravathi and cauvery confluence. There his instincts guided him to the southern banks of river Thamirabarani. A divine voice reveals that he will be welcomed by people there. As he was walking on the southern bank he was greeted by people of Thanthondrimalai they requested him to guide them in constructing a temple. As they were around the hill they saw light at the place where the temle is now situated. Somasarma guided the people to built a temple at this spot. After the temple was constructed, the divine voice orders Somasarma to come and worship here along with his wife. Somasarma returns with his wife and worship God Kalyana Venkataramana swamy who appears in the form of Thiruppathi Venkatachalapathi and blesses them with child. He requests God to bless anyone worshipping here the same blessing of worshipping at Thirupathi. Kalyana Venkata Ramana swamy fulfills his wish. From that day wnwards this temple is konown 'Then Thiruppathy'. Devotees belive that worshipping at this temple as the same benefit of worshiping at Thiruppathi. As the presiding deity appeared infront of devotees on his own this region is called Thanthondrimalai.
