Sthalam: Thirunallurperumanam (ACHALPURAM)
Swami: Sivaloga Thyagesar
Ambal: Thiruvennetru Umaiyammai (Vibudhi prasadamiga)
The legend and other details have been beautifully explained in a separate post by Mr. Rajesh. Anyhow some miscellanous details I just wish to add here about the temple.
1. This is the one and only temple, where 4 Nayanmars have attained Mukthi. (Thirugnanasambandhar, Thiruneelanakka Nayanar, Thiruneelaganda Yazhpaanar, Muruga Nayanar).
2. Only in this temple alone we can see Thirugnana sambandar as married person. Since he immediately attained mukthi after his marriage, we cannot find him anywhere with his wife, Sthothra poornambigai.
3. A separate shrine for Sambandhar--Sthothrapoornambigai is there within the temple near to the shrine of sivaloga thyagesar.
4. A separate shrine of Ambal (Vibudhi prasadambiga) is like a separate temple and she too owns a vahana of Bull (instead of lion).
5. Large sized Dwarapalakas (made of special sand (Sudhai)) are seen both in swami and ambal shrines.
6. The shrine of RUNAVIMOCHANA LINGAM (one who destroys all our debts) is present here. It is present only in three temples. Worshipping him of mondays free people from debts.
7. On completion of our circumbulation (prakara vala), a miniature of narthana ganapathy is there carved in the wall itself. The specialty is a separate temple-like sculpturous work has been done for him.
8. Durga with 8 hands is there in the temple.
9. It is in this temple, Vibudhi prasadam is provided also in the shrine of ambal. (This ambal gave vibudhi prasadam to all the people who came for the marriage of Sambandha-Sthotrapoornambiga).

.Sthalam: Mahendrapalli
Swami: Thiru meni azhagar
Ambal: Vadivambigai
Legend: As per the legend it is in the pond (pushkarini) of this temple, Shri krishna provided Tharpanam before Gurukshetra war and created BODHAYANA AMAVASYA. Both sun and moon are facing each other in this temple.
Surya, chandra and indra have prayed this lord. A small shiny lingam (Meni azhagar)- an apt name is the prime diety. Even the ambal is also with very same equivalent beauty of vadivambigai.
This temple has been renovated just 2 months back only. This temple is also famous for its "SOORYA POOJA" on the month of Panguni. A small sea shore temple.
NOTE: Going by car or auto is preferrable. Because, the temple is located very far from even the bus stand of mahendrapalli. One has to cross achalpuram and then only reach mahendrapalli.
Special Darshan: There is a Ramar temple located in the bus stand of mahendrapalli. There is only one shrine (6 ft tall rama, sita and lakshmana and anjaneya). SImply superb temple. This temple has also been recently renovated before two months only. One has to cross this rama temple and then only reach shiva temple.
This shiva temple is the edge of a particular chozha desa temples list, since beyond which is sea. A small temple surrounded by lots of fishermen houses and all. So going to this temple after 7 pm is not advisable. Also if you want any archana materials, get it from achalpuram or chidambaram itself.
