 One of the 7 shiva temples around this beautiful village called Aathur in Chengalpattu district. The shivalingam and Ambal vigraham looks very old and estimated to be over 1000 years. It is said that the shivalingam was found under the ground while the road work was being carried out many years ago. The local villagers with the help with other local people installed this shivalingam and Ambal in a temple hut and started worshiping here. 

After many years in early 90’s a proper structure was constructed and today the temple is in the right on the Aathur main road.
