Location & Direction:This temple is located just 10 kms away from Thanjavur city

center on the banks of Venn River.

,

There

are 3 temples in and around the river within reach of one km each.

Legend says that there were 3 demons -

Thanjakan,Gajamugan,

Dhandakasuran who worshipped Lord shiva

and tried to get immortal boon .But Lord shiva assured them of not

having death from him. These 3 demons went on torturing the whole world.When

they were torturing Saint parasurar, Lord visnhu used Sakrayutha to

kill Thanjakan-hence the name thanjakanur later became Thanjavur. Gajamugan took

the form of Elephant and Lord vishnu took

Narasimha avatar and killed him-hence the name Thanjai-Yaali. Lord

Vishnu took Varaha avatar to kill Dhandakasuran.-That's SriMushnam.
