This 3 parts data is well taken after careful details included; however the
history part is general; Mahimaiyur Siva is well known; Rig veda parayanam,
with original Rudra chamakam, rendered to deity and the establishment
Hari-HARa murthy in a temple, were the original agama sampradayam; later
the tantric way of worship entered into this temple; and it is prevented in
time; so mainly agama worship only is promulgated. The Ganapadigal reciting
the Rudram and the Rig vedam , akshara sudham can be seen only here.

Rudra-Śiva in the Saṃhitā Literature

The seer prays to Rudra along with Mitra, Varuṇa and Indra for bestowing
splendour. [TEMPLES WHERE Rigveda is practiced in abundance has the Rudra
concept widely mentioned along with the Mitra Varuna etc} ] Rudra is prayed
in the morning for good intellect along with Agni, Indra, Mitrāvaruṇā,
Aśvins, Bhaga, Pūṣaṇ, Brahmanaspati and Soma. In another Atharva vedic
mantra, Rudra is implored along with other deities like Indra, Viṣṇu,
Savitṛ, Agni, Prajāpati, Parameṣṭhin, Virāj, Vaiśvānara to bind an amulet
for safety.

Sun is regarded as Rudra and Mahādeva.In another mantra of the Atharvaveda
Saṃhitā*, Agni is regarded as Rudra*

Sāyaṇācārya states that:   *rudrāya rodayitre rudrātmakāya* vā agnaye namaḥ.

It is defined as reverence is paid to Agni like Rudra. Rudra is invoked
along with Ādityas, Vasu Vāyu, Tvaṣṭṛ, Indra. Rudra is implored along with
Soma to throw out or eradicate the diseases that have entered their
(worshippers’) houses and to locate his medicines in the worshipers’ bodies

The entire 13th kāṇḍa of the Atharvaveda Saṃhitā is dedicated to Rohita or
sun. Here, in these hymns, incessant reverence is paid to Rohita or Āditya.
Rohita is regarded as Aryaman, Varuṇa, Rudra and Mahādeva.[11] In another
mantra of this kāṇḍa, Rohita is regarded as Rudra, winner of good.

In the Atharvaveda Saṃhitā, it is said that Rudra breaks the chariot of
Keśīn. According to Sāyaṇācārya, Keśīn is a demon—keśī nāma asuraḥ. But
there is a mantra in the Ṛgveda, where the name of Rudra is mentioned along
with Keśī. Here, Keśī is mentioned as Sūrya—keśī raśmi bhiryuktaḥ
sūryaḥ.[16] J.Muir in his book entitled Original Sanskrit Texts says that
“Vāyu agitated for him; the long-haired [being] breaks down the things
which are unbending by means of the vessel of water (visha) which he drank
along with Rudra.

In the Atharvaveda Saṃhitā, the relation between Rudra and ekavrātya, the
chief of the vrātyas is described. According to Mahadev Chakravarti, ‘The
Brahman is conceived of as the Vrātya and Rudra is exalted as Eka-vrātya,
the vrātya par excellence.’ The ekavrātya or vrātya par excellence is
regarded as great god or *Mahādeva and Īśāna *which are the designations of
Rudra-Śiva. The ekavrātya holds a bow in his hand; his belly is blue and
back is red. The origin of ekavrātya is mystic. In the Atharvaveda, it is
said that the ekavrātya originates from Prajāpati in a golden form.[8] In
the Brāhmaṇic and Purāṇic literature, Rudra originates from Prajāpati in
the form of a child.

A reference has been found in the Gopatha Brāhmaṇa where it is said that
after offering an oblation to pitṛs or ancestors, the Adhvaryu turns to the
north and performs a sacrifice to Tryambaka. The Adhvaryu turns the
sacrifice to gods (Devayajña) by the sacrifice of the ancestors
(Pitṛyajña).The passage runs thus—

yadudañco’bhyutkramya tryambakairyajante, rudrameva tat svasyāṃ diśi
prīṇanti | atho devayajñamevaitat pitṛyajñena vyāvartayanti.

In the Vāyu Purāṇa, it is depicted that lord Śiva is the fire and Viṣṇu is
the moon. He is day, truth and sacrifice and Viṣṇu is the night, order and
fruit. Viṣṇu is knowledge and Śiva is object. Śiva is said to be Puruṣa and
Viṣṇu Prakṛti. He (Viṣṇu) is described as one half of the body of Śiva and
Śiva is the other half of Viṣṇu. Viṣṇu is his (Śiva’s) left side which is
dark complexioned and Śiva is his (Viṣṇu’s) right side which is mentioned
as blue and red complexioned. God Viṣṇu is in the heart of lord Śiva and
Śiva resides in the heart of Viṣṇu.

bhavān sarvasya kāryasya kartāhamadhidaivatam || Vāyu-purāṇa, 1.25.21-24

In the Vāmana Purāṇa, the similarity between Śiva and Nārāyaṇa is portrayed
very beautifully with a story. According to this story—one day the gods
went to Viṣṇu and wished to know about the presence of Śiva so that the
actual worship could be given. Then Viṣṇu pointed to his own heart and told
the devas that in his heart Śiva resides in the form of liṅga. After that,
the gods worshipped Śiva in the heart of Viṣṇu.

Another reference has been found in the Vāmana Purāṇa where the unity of
Śiva and Viṣṇu has been seen. Here, lord Śiva told the devas that if the
devas cut his (Śiva’s) body into two parts, they would see the presence of
Viṣṇu in his body.

The appearance of Hari-Hara mūrti is portrayed as—one ear is arrayed with
golden ear-rings and another with snake. The one half of this body is clad
in yellow garment and neck is arrayed with necklace and the other half in
tiger’s skin and serpents in his neck. One part of hair is curly and other
part is matted. The half part of this body holds Cakra, Khaḍga, Hala, bow,
Śaṇkha and other part of this body carries Pināka, Triśūla, Ajagava,
Khatvāṅga, Kapāla and a Ghaṇṭā. From these references, it is clear that
Śiva and Nārāyaṇa or Viṣṇu is same. KR IRS 27724
