Answer:
Avinashi (About this soundpronunciation (help·info)) (previously known as Thirupukkoliyur) is a Special Grade Town Panchayat and taluk headquarters in Tirupur district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Avinashi is one among the nine taluks of the district. It is one of the popular pilgrim destinations in Kongunadu region. It is located on National Highway NH544, which bypasses the town. The history of the town is centred around the Avinasilingeswarar temple. The town was previously a part of the Coimbatore district until Tirupur was carved out as a separate district from the erstwhile districts of Coimbatore and Erode. It is a major halt place for vehicles bounding to Chennai and Cochin from the western Tamil Nadu."Vinasam" in Tamil means "Destruction". Prefixing with 'A' means 'No-destruction'. Avinashi is "a place which doesn't have any destruction by any means". In all Shiva temples, Goddess Shakthi(Parvathi) is seen left-side of Lord Shiva. Whereas in Avinashi, she is right-side of Lord Shiva. Inscriptions here reveal that the Cholas, Pandyas and the Hoysalas have made extensive endowments to the temples. Sundaramoorthy Nayanar on his way to meet Cheramaan Peruman, the Nayanar happened to visit Avinashi. As he was passing through one of the streets, he heard two discordant notes coming from opposite houses, one echoing joy and another sorrow. The puzzled saint understood the cause for the strange phenomenon.
Two boys of the same age went to bathe in a tank from which emerged a crocodile and devoured one of them. There was being celebrated the "Upanayanam" (Thread ceremony) of the surviving boy, now 8 years old. Hence there was joy and mirth in the house. While the other people were unable to bear their sorrow.
Had their boy been alive, they too would be celebrating his "Upanayanam". Intensely moved by this, Sundaramoorthy Nayanar poured out of soulful song, praying to Lord shiva to resurrect the dead child. His prayer was answered. The empty tank started surging with water from which emerged the crocodile and ejected the child as a fully grown boy of eight years.
Avinashi also has Karivaradharaja Perumal temple, Anjaneya Temple (by Vysarayar), Akasa Raayan temple, Angalamman Temple, and Ayyappan Temple.
