Padaleeswarar Temple is a Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva in the town of
Cuddalore. It was constructed during the Pallava and Medieval Chola periods. The lord of this temple saved Saint Appar from drowning when he was tied with a stone column and launched into sea as per the orders of the then
282:
Pallava king
Mahendra Varman. Appar, along with the stone, floated on the sea and safely drifted ashore here at Thirupathiripuliyur by the grace of god. Overwhelmed, he sang the thevaram "Eendralumai enaku endhaiyumai" in praise of the lord.
285:
There is a belief/myth that by worshiping this god one single time is equal to 16 times worshiping the Shiva in Kasi, eight times in
Thiruvannamalai, and three times in Chidambaram.
