Moolavar: Sri Kanagapureeswarar
Amman: Sri Swarnambigai
This ancient temple dates back to the Chola period, around 1,400 years ago with remnants of the original structure still intact, including the Shiva Lingam, Nandi, and Vinayagar statues. The unique Nandi statue is depicted in a meditative posture, seated in Vajrasana, symbolizing deep meditation and pranayama.
The moolavar Kanagapureeswarar is a huge shivalingam and is facing the east, Ambal Swarnambigai is in a separate Sannidhi facing the south.
The Navagraha Sannidhi featuring all nine planetary deities with their consorts, a rarity in Tamil Nadu temples can be seen here. A sacred temple tank adds to the serene ambiance.
This temple also has a Perumal Sannidhi, dedicated to Lord Vishnu. This sannidhi is notable for its unique configuration and spiritual significance, reflecting the temple's harmonious blend of Shaivism and Vaishnavism.
