Moolavar: Sri Chevandheswarar
Amman: Sri Kamakshi Ambal
Sri Chevandheswarar Temple dates back to the Pallava dynasty (7th-9th century CE). Moolavar is worshipped as Chevandheswarar . It is said that Chevvai the lord of Mars has worshiped the moolavar here along with Vayu bagawan and even Byravar. There are separate Sannidhis for both Vayu and chevvai is with his 2 consorts Malini and Susivini.
The temple has undergone renovations and expansions over the centuries, with contributions from various dynasties, including the Cholas and Vijayanagara rulers. Today it’s got a newer look, but the moolavar is a fairly big Sivalingam with a huge round Avudayar.
The moolavar faces west which is rarely found with shiva temples. It’s a beautiful temple and is located in a beautiful village and a must visit.
