S. Aduthurai

In the District of Perambalur on the National Highway adjacent to
Tholudur on the bank of River Vellaru is the holy pilgrim centre by
name Su.Aduthurai. The presiding deities of this Temple are Siva and
his consort. The Tamil name for the Lord there is ‘Kutram
Porutha Eswarar’ or ‘Abaradharatshagar’ which can be literally translated as the’ Lord of Forgiveness’ and the consort Elavar Kuzhali Ammai or the damsel with beautiful and curly tresses.

The Lord of Forgiveness Kutram Porutheeswarar will wash away all the sins that cannot be wiped out either by the Navagrahas or the nine
planets, and even by one’s Guru.

Kutram Porutheeswarar temple has been built during the Chola period in the 12thCen. And it has been periodically renovated through grants
by various rulers ranging from Chola, Chera, Pandya and the Nayakars
of Vijaya Nagar. All these grants and donation to the temple are
recorded in the epigraphs of the granite structure of the temple.

This temple had already been renovated recently with the funds
donated by the Tamil Nadu Government and the Kumbhabhishekam took place on the 27th of January 2010.
