On day 5 we went to Thiruvaiyaru. There the story is about Appar or Thirunavukarasar who wanted to go to Mount Kalaish to see Lord Shiva. He was 80 years old. So, he suffered to go there. He even crawled as he was too old to walk. Lord Shiva saw him and came to his rescue in the form of an old man and told him to jump into the pool that was there and said that Appar could see Lord Shiva. Appar did so and guess what?? He came out at a pond in Thiruvaiyarur and saw Lord Shiva and Parvathi sitting on a nanthi. Then he sang 'Mathar Pirai Kanni Yaanai'. We also went to the temple there. It says that if you shout 'Aiyarappa' it echos seven times. It is really cool.
