Location
The Thirumananjeri temple is at a distance of 3 km to the west of Kuthalam, a small town in the district of Thanjavur. It is believed that the wedding of Lord Shiva and Uma Maheshwari took place here and hence the name Thirumananjeri, as in Tamil language Thirumanam means wedding.
This temple will conduct a three day festival to celebrate the wedding of Lord Shiva in the Poosam star of the Chithirai month in the Tamil calendar. There are special poojas conducted in this temple for unmarried boys and girls and there is a saying that such persons will tie the knot at the earliest after performing poojas in this temple.
