Instead of treating all of them alike, he neglected all the other 26 wives and
spent most of his time with Rohini . Daksha Prajapathi advised Chandran to
treat all his 27 wives equally. But Chandran ignored him. Daksha Prajapathi got
offended and cursed Chandran that he should suffer from a wasting disease.
Chandran prayed to Lord Siva in Thingalur to save him from the curse. Saving
him God ordered that Chandran should remain in the temple in Thingalur and
should give relief to those, suffering from the ill effects of Chandran’s
adverse placement in their horoscopes and offering prayers to him. So, such
people who are affected by the adverse positions of Chandran in their
horoscopes offer prayers to Lord Kailasanathar, Goddess Sri Periyanayaki and
Chandra Bagavan (moon God), by offering prayers.
