General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-berasVyāghrapura is the name of a forest associated with the sotry of Madyanthinar as explained in the sthala-purāṇa of the Thillai Nataraja Temple in Cidambaram (Chidambaram) which is one of the Pañcasabhā or “five halls where Śiva is said to have danced”.—According to legends, the origin of the sthala is described thus: [...] Śiva blessed Madyanthinar with the limbs of a tiger to climb the trees without slipping and the sight to see in darkness too. Siva blessed Madyanthinar with such blessings so that, as per his wish, he could collect the flowers before sunrise even if there was fog everywhere. The lord, after showering these graces, named him Vyāghrapāda (man with tiger’s limbs) and so the forest came to be called Vyāghrapura and Puliyūr.
