There are several literary works associated with this hoary shrine, which remains today, a seat of Tamil culture. According to a legend, the Shaivite saint Thirugnanasambandar brought a dead girl back to life in this temple. This event is enacted on the 8th day of the annual festival in the month of Pankuni (Pisces).
This ancient Shiva temple is a delightful introduction to Dravidian temple architecture.
This shrine is a must-see pilgrimage spot for visiting devotees.
