The divine wedding of Nandi and Suyasayambikai was held at Thirumazhapadi Vaidyanathaswamy temple in Ariyalur district of Tamil Nadu.

The temple is now maintained and administered by Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu.

As per Hindu legend, Shiva was pleased by the devotion by one of his devotees named Arulalan and bestowed him with a vessel with never ending food giving capabilities.

The place where Ambal fed the devotees was called Annam Paintha Vayal (the field where food was produced).

[2] The temple is located in Tiruchotruturai, a village in Thanjavur district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

As per Hindu legend, it is the wedding festival of Nandikeswara, the sacred bull of Shiva on the Punarpoosa star during the Tamil month of Panguni.

Each of the festival deities of the respective temples mounted in glass palanquins accompany Aiyarppar on the way to the final destiny, Thillaistanam.

Hundreds of people witness the convergence of seven glass palanquins carrying principal deities of respective temples from seven places at Tiruvaiyaru.

Like other Shiva temples of Tamil Nadu, the priests belong to the Shaiva community, a Brahmin sub-caste.

The temple rituals are performed four times a day; Ushathkalam at 6:30 a.m., Kalasanthi at 8:00 a.m., Uchikalam at 12:00 a.m., Sayarakshai at 5:00 p.m., and Ardha Jamam at 8:00 p.m. Each ritual comprises four steps: abhisheka (sacred bath), alangaram (decoration), naivethanam (food offering) and deepa aradanai (waving of lamps) for both Odhavaneswarar and Annapoorani.

[6] Tirugnana Sambandar, a 7th-century Tamil Saivite poet, venerated Odhavaneswarar in the 28th padigam in Tevaram, compiled in the First Tirumurai.

Appar, a contemporary of Sambandar, also venerated Odhanvaneswarar in four padigams in Tevaram, compiled in the fourth, fifth and Sixth Tirumurai.
