Moolavar: Sri Mahalingeswarar
Amman: Sri Brahath Sundra Kujambal
During the Chozha period, this place Nungambakkam was in Puliyur Nadu in Puliyur Kottam, and the same was mentioned in 11th Century Rajendra Chozha’s copper plate.
The temple was built in the 20th Century. Most of the sannidhis are constructed from donations made by Nattukottai Nagarathars.
The temple faces east with a 3-tier Rajagopuram. Balipeedam and Idabam are in front of the sanctum sanctorum. Vinayagar and Murugan sannidhis are on both sides of the moolavar, equal size of moolavar sannidhi. In koshtam, Vinayagar, Dakshinamurthy, Guruvayurappan, Brahma, and Durgai can be seen. Also separate Sannidhi for Seetha Rama Lakshmana Samedha Anjaneya can be seen .
In paraharam Utsavars, Arasamarathadi Vinayagar, Natarajar, Krishna, Ambal (in a separate sannidhi facing east direction), and Navagrahas. Another Anjaneyar Sannidhi can be seen facing the Ramar Sannidhi.
A very beautiful and well maintained temple in the heart of the city
