The Brahmapureeswarar Temple is a Hindu Temple located in Thirupattur near Trichy, Tamilnadu,
India.
[1] Worshippers believe that a person can change his fate by seeking the blessings of Brahma
and Brahmapureeswarar Shiva Temple, Tirupattur.

The god Brahma’s overwhelming pride as the Creator of the Universe. Brahma felt that Set featured imagehe was more
prevailing than Shiva – since he had the supremacy of creation.
This sense of pride provoked Shiva, who destroyed Brahma’s Fifth Head, and also cursed him that
he would lose his power of creation.
To relieve himself of this curse, Brahma started out on a pilgrimage of Shiva Temples.
During the course of his pilgrimage, Brahma also visited this temple and installed 12 Shiva Lingams
around Brahmapureeswarar and worshipped Shiva here for a considerable time.
Being moved by Brahma’s prayers, Shiva, on Devi Parvathi’s appeal, gave him Darshan under the
Magizha tree and liberated him from his curse. Shiva also restored the power and responsibility of
creation to Brahma.
