Moolavar: Sri Bheemeshwarar
Amman: Sri Maragadhambal
A beautiful old temple with maybe over a 1000 years plus, located on the way to Thiruvallur. It is said that Bhima one of the Pancha Pandavas has worshipped this moolavar and hence the name Bhimeshwarar. It is said that the well in the North East corner was dug by Bhima himself to perform the Abhishekam.
Ambal Maragadhambikai is facing south in a separate Sannidhi in a small maha mandapam. You see Pillayar and Valli Devasena Samedha Subramania swamy on both sides of the entrance to the smaller Arthamandapam. The Nandhi is in the smaller Open Mahamandapam. Surya Bhagavan and Chandikeswarar too in the open Mahamandapam only.
The sthala vriksham is Ilupai maram or Mahua tree.
Could have been a larger temple with outer praharam and with years might have been dilapidated. Right behind the temple is a big lake called Valarpuram Eri.
