A very old temple believed to be in existence from the Ramayana period as both the sons of Shri Rama, Lava and Kusha have worshipped this shiva linga when they were in exile along with Sita Devi after she was sent off to the forest by Shri Rama when she was pregnant as per Ramayana.
The current Ambal and moolavar Sannidhi is believed to be over 1500 years. The moolavar Lavapureeswarar is facing east and the moolavar sivalingam is on a grand square Avudayar and is really beautiful to see specially during Abhishekam.
Ambal was earlier called Sri Maragadhambikai and later has been changed to Sri Thripurasundari, but reasons are not known as to why this change was done. She is in a separate Sannidhi and just on the left of Shivan Sannidhi facing east, which represents the Kalyanam kolam.
The inner praharam has Navagrahm Sannidhi also. We can see 63 Nayanar Vigraham. Both swamy and Ambal ghostam has beautiful Vigrahams and looks like has been constructed very much according to the earlier agama sasthras.
