Vadakurangaduthurai is a village located in the Papanasam taluk on the north bank of the Kaveri river, Tamil Nadu, India. It is 4 km from the town of Papanasam and is also known as Aduthurai and Aaduthurai Perumal Koil.

Etymology and Legend

It is believed that when Lord Rama was passing through south, he wanted to cross the Kaveri river. This place was earlier a port on the Kaveri river. In order to attain a safe river crossing, Hanuman worshipped a Shivalinga here, which he named as Dayanidheeswarar. Thus, the port got the name 'Vada Kurangu Kadu Thurai' meaning 'The forest-port of the northern monkey' in Tamil which later came to be known as Vadakurankaduthurai. The temple is still located in the village and is an important pilgrimage site.
