Thiruvidaimaruthur temple is considered as holy as Varanasi.The temple with its imposing gopuram is one of the Panchalinga kshetrams as there are five lingams, four of which in the four cardinal directions and the fifth one MahalingaSwamy being at the centre. @LostTemple7
Thiruvidaimaruthur is one of the three Siva temples in India which adopt Maruda tree (Terminalia arjuna - commonly known as arjuna) as their Sthala vriksham (holy tree ) and hence it is called as Idai Marudur ( Madhyaarjuna).
The other two Siva shrines are Thalai Marudur or Mallikarjuna temple in Sri Sailam, Andhra Pradesh and in Thiruppudaimarudur or Kadai Marudur( Sputarjuna) in Ambasamudram, Thirunelveli district.
