The twin Nandhis in the temple prayed with a garland made of cashew and groundnut gets expected results. The temple is in a bad condition. Hence liberal contribution liberally for the renovation of the temple is welcome
The Avittam star assumed importance as Lord Brahmma attained wisdom on this star day. Avittam star people should visit this temple as often as they could or on the particular star day or birthday or on the star day falling in the month of Avani (August-September) and perform Pooja and Adi-pradakshinam which favours their destiny.
There is an interesting episode about Gorakka Siddha who came to this temple as a part of his pilgrimage to Shiva temples. When he stayed in a mutt here and woke up at midnight, he was shocked to see a woman sleeping by his side with her sari on his hands. Repenting, he cut off his hands and stayed in the mutt for some time. After his bath in the Chandra Pushkarini and worship of Gnanapureeswarar and Pushpavalli, Lord appeared before him and restored his hands. Since the hands were cut here, the place is called Korakkai and as the Siddha worshipped with short hands (after being cut), it is called Kurukkai. Over a period of time, it became Korukkai.
Lord Vishnu redemmed the vedas from the two demons Madhu and Kaidapa who stole from Brahma and hid them under the sea. Yet when Brahma could not perform His creation job efficiently, on Lord Vishnu’s advice, Brahma worshipped Lord Shiva here and regained his Gnana-wisdom on Avittam star day in the month of Aavani and resumed His creation job efficiently. As the Lord imparted Gnana to Brahma, he is praised as Gnanapureeswarar.
