Vaitheeswaran Kovil or Pullirukkuvelur is a Hindu temple dedicated to the Shiva, located in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Shiva is worshipped as Vaidyanathar or Vaitheeswaran meaning the "God of healing" and it is believed that prayers to Vaitheeswaran can cure diseases. Vaitheeswaran is a Tamil derivative from vaidya (Doctor) and Ishvara (God/Master). The presiding deity is Sri vaidyanathan, facing towards West whereas East side is the common one. He is the God of Healing. When pronouncing in Tamil, it sounds like "vaideeswaran". It is one of the nine Navagraha (nine planets) temples and is associated with the planet Mars (Angaraka).
It is suitable for visiting this temple in summers as there winds are running, because summer vacation of childrens had started as children also visit and know any things.
The temple is very badly maintained (as of January 2020). It is truly heartbreaking to see the temple is such poor condition. Hope authorities will do needful and carry out the much needed renovation.
