Moolavar: Sri Agastheeswarar
Amman: Sri Agilandeswari
We had the privilege of doing annabhishekam to the moolavar.
A good 1000 years old temple which is believed to be built by Raja Raja Chola I. The stone inscription found shows the details of the donations made towards lighting lamps for regular puja.
The earlier name of this village has been Kalanthai Nagar and it is said that sage Agasthyar has installed the Shivalingam and has worshiped him here in this village. It is also said that he stayed in this village and performed many Urchavam for the moolavar here.
The moolavar resembles the moolavar of Annamalai Sri Annamalayar. Ambal Akhilandeswari faces south and she is seen with a third eye in the forehead. This eye is clearly visible when milk Abhishekam is performed. The outer praharam has Pillayar, Naganatha swamy, Valli Devayanai Sametha Subramania Swamy and Navagraha Sannidhi.
The famous Urchavam in this temple is Arudhra Dharshan and Natarajar comes out for a procession in the evening. All pancha murthy porapadu happens.
