Legend / Local stories

Sri Vygrapathar Maharishi, who by a boon sought by him, was equipped with tiger`s legs to enable him to climb vilva trees to pluck vilva leaves, had worshiped the Lord here according to the temple legend.

Presiding Deity is called as Kameswarar and Mother is called as Kokilambal. The 1000 year old temple is fully built with stones. The Lord has a replica which is decorated and taken to the streets during times of festivals. Vygrapathar, the Saivite saints, Bhairavar, Vishnu, Murugan with Valli and Devasena are housed in separate shrines in the temple. The temple is open once a day.

The special feature of the temple is it has four sacred tanks. Two of the tanks are dedicated to God of Death, Yama and Moon, Chandran. The sacred tree is Vilvam as usual with Siva temples. This temple is in a very pathetic condition with bushes all around, bats flying and the Gopura Kalasam itself is not there. The temple urgently needs repair and renovation.
