When Lord Shiva danced the Ananda Thandavam in Tirualangadu temple, Nandhi Deva known as Singi played the Mridangam-a Drum like instrument. As he was lost in bliss while playing the instrument, he could not see the Thandava or dance of Lord Siva completely. He prayed to Lord Shiva who asked him to come to Meipedu now known as Mappedu and pray to him as Singeswarar. Singi Nandhi deva prayed in this way and Lord Shiva performed the Thandava dance for his devotee Nandhi Deva.
Lord Maha Vishnu also worshipped here after taking the Mohini Avatara. Accordingly Mahavishnu Sannidhi is in the Goshta or behind the Main Temple. Usually Lingodbava Sannidhi is seen behind in temples.
Veeryapaleeswarar Sannidhi-Blessings of Fertility and Childbirth
Agasthiya Vijayam, a tamil monthly spiritual magazine details the Significance of Veeryapaleeswarar a unique Form of Lord Shiva. Veeryapaleeswarar Linga is related to the Bikshadana Avatara of Lord Shiva. In Darukavana, rishis were haughty about the powers they had gained by performing rituals. Lord Shiva wanted to teach the egoistic rishis a lesson. Shiva took the form of a Young, Handsome Bikshadanar, Mahavishnu took the form of Mohini and went to Darukavana.
The wives of the rishis were infatuated with the Handsome form of Lord Shiva and went towards him ignoring the fact that they were wives of rishis. The Angered Rishis performed the Abhichara Yagam which produced bad effects. They directed the snakes, demon, tiger, fire, and drum that came out of the fire against Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva converted the items from Fire as Ornaments. The rishis realised their stupidity and surrendered to the Lord. This Unique Veeryapaleeswarar Shiva Roopa is in Mappedu temple.
Hence Veeryapaleeswara form of Lord Shiva blesses one to have Vamsa Vrithi or Childbirth and fertility problems if any are sorted out. Agasthiya Vijayam also details that Lord Dasaratha performed pooja here and was blessed with a child like Lord Rama.
