About Kailasanathar Temple :
When planet Moon married the deity of the last star Revathi , as a newly married couple , they liked to have the darshan of the Lord Shiva and mother Parvathi. Mother was so merciful that she granted the darshan to both of them with Lord. Hence, mother is called as Karunakaravalli. Normally,the tamil word Kar means cloud. They are 7 in numbers. It is believed that these clouds worship in the temple on Revathi star days. It is said that any special pooja performed to Varuna the God of Rains on a Sunday combined with Tiruvadhirai star or on Revathi star would bring sufficient rains both for general consumption and for irrigation needs without scarcity.
Based on history, the temple was rebuilt by a chieftain named Valvil Ori ruling Kollimalai, noted for his charitable character. Many other kings also contributed to the betterment of the temple. In the year 1266, Karnataka king Veera Ramanathan donated adequate lands for the maintenance of poojas in the temple. Another king Rama Chakravarthi donated more lands to the temple in the year 1541 and 1619. Next to Kasi, it is this temple where Asoka star is circling under the land here. Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathi had granted darshan to all the 27 star deities in this temple. This temple has greater significance for those born in Revathi star, if they offer to Lord and mother 27 numbers of any auspicious items, such as 27 mangal sutras, 27 blouse bits or 27 food packets and distribute them to the devotees visiting the temple to realize their wishes in life. They are also advised to perform milk abishek to Lord before 12 minutes of the beginning of Aswini star following the end of Revathi star.
