In the sacred text Budha Ashtottara Shatanamavali, which contains 108 names of Budha, the God is praised as the one who can cure all diseases.

The Swetharanyeswarar Temple in Thiruvenkadu, a village in the Mayiladuthurai district of the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Shiva. Symbolizing Shiva, Brahmavidyambigai portrays his wife, Parvati. Shiva is revered as Swetharanyeswarar.
Under the tree that is believed to be the location of the Thiruvengadu temple, Shiva incarnated as Agoramurthi and killed Maruthuvasuran. The area is also known as Swetaranyam, Adi Chidambaram, and Nava Ntirya Stala. Indra, Budha, Surya, Chandra, and Airavata are said to have worshipped Swetharanyeswarar here. There are several shrines in the temple complex, including Swetharanyesarar, Aghora, and Nataraja, the most prominent of which is the seven-tiered gopuram that leads into the approximately two-acre complex. The temple has large, concentric, rectangular granite walls surrounding all of the shrines and the three temple tanks.
