Lord Shiva defeated Goddess Rajarajeshwari in chess in this Temple is located at Bhuvanur in Tiruvarur district, Tamilnadu.
The king prays to Lord Nellaiyapar ( Siva ) for a child. Lord Shiva blesses that Goddess Parvati will be born as a daughter. Both the king and the queen find a conch on the river bank. When they take the conch it turns into a girl. The child is named Rajarajeshwari and brought up. Chamundeswari, one of the Saptamathas, is sent by Shiva to take care of the child. Rajarajeshwari excels in all arts and plays chess well. So the king decide for his girl to marry the best chess player. Lord Shiva appears as Siddha. He tells the king that he will marry Rajarajeshwari after winning the game of chess. Siddhar wins the chess game and marries Rajarajeshwari to get the king to agree. God blesses everyone to see divine marriage. We worship him with the name Chaturanga Vallabha Nadhar.
