This temple is 600 years Old. Presiding deity is called as Gunam Thantha Nathar and Mother is called as Thiripura Sundari. Sthala Vriksham is Sarakondrai Tree and Theertham is Agni Theertham and it is well known for curing all types of diseases.

In this temple, one can find Ashta Lingas (8 Sivalingams, as found in Thiruvannamalai, representing 8 directions) in the temple praharam. The local people say that these Sivalingams were consecrated, based on the divine order received in the form of Asareeri (Divine voice heard from unseen spiritual forces).

Going around this temple for 21 times on Pournami days is equivalent to performing Thiruvannamalai Girivalam once. Recently a miracle took place in this temple. A person, dumb by birth, went around this temple 21 times during every Pournami day. He did this penance continuously for 7 Pournamis and gained the power of speech. Nava Veerabagu Sannathis, a very rare feature is present in this temple.
