History
The
temple was built by the Chola king Karikala II, and that is why the deity has
the prefix Kari before his name. The present temple with its carved stone
pillars must have been built much later than Karikalan’s time. Maybe the temple
built by Karikala crumbled in the course of time and was later replaced with
the present one by one of his descendants. The temple is well maintained.
