Mythologyedit
According to Hindu mythology, Kamadeva the Hindu god of love, provoked the ire of Shiva and was burnt to death. The Puradhana Vaneswarar Temple in neighboring Peravurani lies on the spot where the incident is said to have taken place. However, on Yama's request, Kamadeva was restored to life. The Yama Dharmaraja Temple is believed to have been built at the spot where he was restored to life.
