Sage Brighu worshipped Lord Malleeswarar here.

Malleeswarar:

The history of this temple is Prarthan, a Shiva devotee of Ayodhya chose this place full Malligai (Jasmine) bushes to do penance on Lord Shiva & was blessed with the darshan of the Lord along with his consort Maragathambal. The Lingam worshipped by him was in an area of Malligai bushes & hence the name came as Malleeswarar.

Temple Opening Time

The Temple remains open from 06.00 AM to 11.30 AM and 04.30 PM to 08.30 PM.

Prayers

The belief about this temple is that the Garlands exchanged between the God & the Goddess during the Kalyana Uthsavam if worn by an unmarried person & kept at home would bring wedlock. Also offering of Jasmine garland on six consecutive Mondays to Lord Shiva will fulfill one’s wishes. The worship of Sri Malleeswarar and Mother Maragathambal will ensure that husband, wife and children are highly moral and they don’t fall into evil ways. Offering fragrant flowers and perfumes pleases Lord Malleeswarar & Sri Maragathambal.
