History

Brahmapurisvarar Brahmadesam is among the Archaeological Survey of India’s list of monuments and is being renovated. It is around 1000 years old. In the olden days this place was called as Rajaraja-Chaturvedimangalam. An inscription on the temple records the gift of 33 cattle including cows, calves and a bull by Nilagangan Ammurikundan Solangadevan of Amur for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Brahmisvaramudaiya-Nayanar at Rajaraja-Chaturvedimangalam, an independent Brahmadeya village in Panaiyur-Nadu, a subdivision of Rajraja-Valanadu.
