His consort, Parvati, is known as Baagampriyal. The place is also known as Tirupperuvelur.[4]
Significance
It is one of the shrines of the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams - Shiva Sthalams glorified in the early medieval Tevaram poems by Tamil Saivite Nayanars Tirugnanasambandar and Tirunavukkarasar.[4]
Literary mention
Tirugnanasambandar describes the feature of the deity as:[5]
விழையாதார் விழைவார்போல் விகிர்தங்கள் பலபேசிக்
குழையாதார் குழைவார்போற் குணம்நல்ல பலகூறி
அழையாவு மரற்றாவு மடிவீழ்வார் தமக்கென்றும்
பிழையாத பெருமானார் பெருவேளூர் பிரியாரே.
