So there is no surprise by name " chottruthurai " indicating the fertility of the

place. Keeping Thiruvaiyaru as Lankmark,Among the sapthasthana

shalams,Thiruchottruthurai comes third.According to Legend, when the marriage of

nandhi took place in Thirumazhapadi, All kinds of food were prepared and sent

wife with " atchaya pathiram " in their hands where they served food to everyone

(gods gift)
