Thiruporur Kandaswamy Temple at Thiruporur, a panchayat town in Chengalpattu district in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, BHARAT (India) 🚩

Dedicated to the god Sri Murugan
As per #VedicHistory, Murugan fought with demons in three places, namely,
the sea at Tiruchendur,
land at Thirupparankundram and
in air at Thiruporur.

Sage Agastya on his way to Pothigai hills visited this place.
Since Muruga won over Tharuka asuran, this place came to be Porur (por in Tamil means war) and also called by other names like Tharukapuri and Samarapuri.

According to the sthala puraanam, at some point of time, the place was submerged in a deluge.
A sage named Chidambara Adigal was residing in Madurai and a divine voice asked him to unearth the statue under a palm tree.
He dug out the statue and built a temple around it.
There is a separate shrine dedicated to him in the temple and he is given special respect during the Vaikasi Visagam festival.
During the last event of the festival, he is depicted merging with the presiding deity.
