Thirumoghur was the Lord that accompanied Nammalwars soul when it went to heaven. 3675. of D P .Nammalwar describes the Lord he says the Divine feet of the Lord is like a beautiful flower. The eyes are like lotuses. The mouth is the colour of the coral. the perumal has four majestic shoulders. He is the supreme, who has the power to annihilate the asuras. He is very beautiful. we came to Thirumoghur where such a perumal resides and we are now fully secure and safe. Just as the rain bearing clouds give the gift of rain to the thirsty land so too the Kaala Megha Perumal it is firmly believed showers his bountiful compassion on his sincere devotee and accompanies him on his last journey.
The Moolavar is Kala mega Perumal seen in a standing pose with right hand in varada hasta and holding a mace in the left hand and facing east. the utsavar is known as Thirumoghur apan. He has all the pancha ayudhams in his hands. the thayar is Moghur valli or Mohana valli and Mega valli. the theertham is Ksheerabdi Puskarini. the Kedaki vimanam and god appeared to Brahma Indra and Rudra. there is also a sannidhi where the Lord is in the lying down pose with Adhisesha for his couch which has a golden kavacham. In krutayugam due to Rishi durvasa's curse Indra lost all his wealth, and the devas lost both power and wealth. the lord promised them help when approached and decided to extract nectar from the ocean and give it to the Devas to regain their wealth and prosperity.
Lord Vishnu advised the devas to churn the milky ocean. the ocean was churned with the Mandara mountain as the churning rod and the serpent as the rope. first emerging out of this exercise was the Kala khoota the Lord Shiva immediately uttered Achuta anantha Govinda and drank the poison retaining it in his neck. next emerged the horseUchchaisravas followed by the Kalpaka Viruksham, Iravatham the elephant, moon, Ahalya, Mahalakshmi and finally the pitcher full of the divine nectar. there was a great comotion since the devas and asuras jostled each other to get at the nectar. Lord Narayana took the form of Mohini a beautiful divine damsel. he then asked the devas and asuras to sit in row so that he could distribute the nectar the asuras were so taken to looking at the beautiful form of Mohini that they completely forgot about the issue of the nectar. meantime the devas were distributed the nectar and they regained their power and defeated the asuras regaining their lost kingdom. the devas requested god to give darshan in his true form and requested that he remain in that form so that people could be blessed as well when they visited the kshetram. thus this kshetram came to be known as Kalamega Katti aruli divya desam Mohana Kshetram. the place is also known as Mohanapuram.
As per Hindu legend, once a demon by name Bhasmasura did penance. Shiva granted him a boon that when he touches anyone's head, the person would turn to ashes. Bhasmasura wanted to test the boon and wanted to touch the head of Shiva. A bewildered Shiva ran to seek the favour of Vishnu, who took the form of damsel Mohini. She lured Bhasmasura with her dance and made Bhasmasura touch his head with his hand. The demon Bhasmasura was thus defeated. The place where Mohini lured (meaning Moham) came to be known as Thirumohur.
