Moolavar: Sri Maandukaniswarar
Amman: Sri Kamakshi Ambal
A good old 1500 year old temple belonging to the 7th century built by the Pallava rulers. The moolavar temple is believed to have been installed by Sage Maandokar and has worshipped him here. Hence the name Maandukaniswarar.
The Nandi turned towards north and they say that Thirugnanasambandhar came to Kanchipuram for his Dharshan and he could not see the shivalingam and the lord asked Nandhi to turn his head and hence the nandhi ‘s face is turned. Here mental illness, delayed chid birth and marriage related prayers are done by devotees.
