Moolavar:Sri Meghanadheeswarar
Amman: Sri Megambigai
It is believed to be built by king of Chola king around 8th century. Only the moolavar, Sri Meganadeeswarar Ambal, Nandhi and Muis believed to be 1300 years old. But the rest of temple structures has been built during the year 2013 as the old structure has been completely destroyed in time.
It is said that Varuna bhagavan worshipped Mehanadheeswarar here to get rid of his curse from Dhurvasa muni. The Avudayar unlike most the South Indian Siva temples is almost at the ground level and is in squared shape. It is said that during Renovation time people tried lifting the linga banam to a put it on a pedestal, but realised that the banam has several feet going below the ground and hence they left it as it is.
It is believed to be a parihara sthalam and mostly Pradhosham Abhishekam is believed to be the pariharam for all kind of ailments and wishes that the devotees have. Every pradosham 108 sangu abiskegam is performed without fail. One can feel very strong vibration in this temple.
You can see a beautiful temple tank outside. The other sannidhies are present as well like you find in any other Sivan temple. There is a small Kodimaram which shows that Brahmotsavam is performed regularly in this tenple and also Shivaratri is said to be performed at a grand scale.
