It is
located approximately 18 Kms from Chengalpet. In this temple, one can find two
Sivalingams, two ambals and two nandheeswarars. Other Sannathis are Vinayagar,
Murugan and Vishnu. This sacred temple was worshipped by Lord Anjaneya. As in
Chidambaram, special Abishegams are being performed six times in a year to Lord
Nataraja of this temple.
Nearly
50 years ago, as the Vinayaga statue of this temple got damaged, local people
gathered and removed and threw it into the local pond. In its place, they
installed a new Vinayaga statue also. On that very night, Lord Vinayaga
appeared in their dreams and questioned if anyone in your house becomes a
handicap, will you throw him into a pond. Everyone got scared and next morning,
recovered the old statue from the pond. They constructed a small temple near
the pond itself and installed the old statue there. Till date, regular poojas
are being performed to that deity.
