Moolavar: Sri Vaali-sera Paleeswarar
Amman: Sri Valli-sera Paleeswari
This temple is said to belong to 10th century pallava period .The Shiva lingam was discovered under the ground in 1994 and kumbabishekam was done as per the guidance of Maha periyava of Kanchi.
The history goes on to say that while lord Murugan was going to meet Valli in vallimalai, ambal helped him by showing the way and hence she is named as Valli-sera Paleeswari and the moolavar was worshipped by King Vaali and hence he is called Vaali-sera Paleeswarar. The old temple has been renovated now and a nice praharam is well maintained. A very unique thing is that you can see Garudar, Anjaneyar and Shanka Chakra on the dhwajasthmbam in a shiva temple. Signifying that Shiva Vaishnava coexistence in those years.
The other sannidis are there and Ayappan Sannidhi is very beautifully made. There is also a Sannidhi for Sri Rama Seetha Lakshmana and Anchaneyar .
