Erumbeeswarar is dedicated to lord shiva.This temple is in Thiruverumbur near trichy,on the way to tanjore.
This temple is called kailash of south India.
To see lord shiva one has to climb the steps,and it is good and people will enjoy .
Why this name-Erumbeeswarar?
There was a demon called Tharukasuran,he tried to destroy all deva's .Deva's were in panic and went to devalogam and asked brahma as what to do,how to get rid of this demon.
Brahma told them to worship lord shiva in devalogam-thiruverumbur,so all devas transformed into ants so that the demon wont identify them and worshipped lord shiva.
Since shiva lingam was slippery and ants (Deva's) could not climb and was falling down .
They prayed to lord shiva and lord shiva saw their prayers and turned into ant hill (of sand) and they worshipped.
So this name Erumbeeswarar-erumbu-ant,eeswaran-lord shiva.
This is very nice temple and in the evening few sing thevaram. one can travel in the morning rather than late evening.We went around 7.30 pm and came by 8.00 pm,so better have good darshan in the morning time.
