As the author of the article about Sivarathiri (Feb'10), I would like to give the following clarifications to the comment. The presiding deity of Tiruvarur Thiagarajaswamy Temple is Vanmeeganathar (Putridamkondar in Tamil). Though Vanmiganathar is the presiding deity, Thiagaraja is given importance here. Vanmeegam in sanskrit means putru in tamil. This Sthalam is called as Prithivi Kshethram along with Kanchipuram. Also called as Mooladhara Kshethram and there is one Ganapathi called Moolathara Ganapathi in this temple. In addition to Thiagarajaswamy and Vanmeeganathar, there is another deity called Chandrasekarar. Thiagaraja gives power to Chardrasekarar during festival times (in March-april) and a celebration or ritual called Chandrasekara Pattam is being observed. Except, Ratham (Aazhith ther), Chandrasekarar is taken in Vahanas in the four main streets, for veedhi valam for and on behalf of Thiagaraja. Tiruvarur was called as Kamalapuram, Sripuram, Vanmeegapuram etc. Further daily abhishegam is not there for Thiagaraja and abhishegam is performed for "VEEDHI VIDANGAR" a Maragatha Lingam (Emerald Lingam).

There is only one problem with this story! Though I was not lucky enough the moolasthanam, the name Thiagesar means the moolasthanam must be a termite mound [Purru]. As a matter of fact some people even think Thiruvaroor is the 'Earth' temple among the panjapoothasthalams! I wonder anyone knowledgeable to make comment on this aricle.
