foster mothers. Where the Saravanai lake was the place was called Saravanai between lake Saravanai and River Valukkai the sea splashes. The young Murugan grew up and mother Parvathi gave the pointed spear (vel), that place is called Velanai. Murugan went to Mahakailasam with his mother Parvati and paid his loving respect to his father Shiva. In response to Shiva's command, Murugan organized himself into warrior stance and warred with Tarakan. Tarakan entered Mount Kraunja and concealed himself. The opening in Mount Kraunja was merged in darkness and was called Alvai. From this gaping entrance, Alvai Mount Kraunja was to the north east Mount Kraunja was a massive magic cave. When Lord Muruga came down from Mount Kailas with his massive assisting warriors, the contingent camped at Senthitsannathi, which was later known as Sellachannithi. It was from here that Murugan destroyed Mount Kraunja. On the destruction of ‘Mount Kraunja’ Tarakan came out. At the nearby Mayapuri (open space) the two battled fiercely. Murugan attacked Tarakan's neck with his vel (spear), the chain as which was around Tarakan's neck broke up and the pendant which was Vishnu's chakkrayutham fell to the ground. At last King Tarakan of great strength moved into the heaven for his Valour. Where the battle was fought was at Mayakkai, Vadmaradchi. Where his Vishnu's weapon chakrayutham broke up and fell was the village of Vallinachchi. Very much later Vallinachiyar found this shattered weapon (Chakrayathan) was ceremoniously placed at a temple and worshipped and this place of worship of chakrayutham was called Vallipuram. This place of worship Vallipuram was called Vallipura alvar Kovil. Intellectual opinion like those of Pandithamani Kanapathipillai referred to Jaffna's culture as Kandapurana Culture, is suggestive of this consecration of the above his body. The pointed spear (vel) with which Murugan battled Tarakan from his battling centre is Sellachchanithi. Also where Vallinachchi consecrated the chakrayutham for worship is Vallipuram Temple. This form of worship with the symbols of the divine is Traditional Tamil Worship. These places of worship, although not erected in accordance with northern Sanskrit scriptural mode, worshipers receive and experience divine grace and have attained fame as a result of the blessings poured onto the worshipers. The Devas had been defeated by Tarakan and imprisoned by him and treated as slaves. Devas worshiped Vishnu (Thirumal) for these defeated Deva and Vishnu warred with Tarakan who defeated him and wrested the ‘Chakrayutham’ from him.
