History

The Lord does the final ceremony for Jadaayu, the Eagle belongs to the pull family (One king of bird family) and after finishing the ceremony, he takes rest. So this shetram is called as "Pullam Kudi". Kudi means the place of staying in Tamil.Kiruthrajan, when doing tapas keeping Lord in his heart and mind, Valvil Raman arised in front of him in Bujangha Sayanam. Since, the Theertham which purified Kiruthrarajan, the theertham here is called "Kiruthra theertham". As he was held in the forest, when King Dasaratha was dead, he could not do the final funeral to his father. But, keeping Jadaayu in his father's place, he did the final funeral to him as what he could have done to his father, King Dasaratha.The final funeral of Jadaayu was done under Punnai tree. The main point to be noticed in this shetram, is only here, Sri Ramar gives his seva as Chakaravarthi (along with Sangu and Chakram).
