It is on the way to mayiladuthurai from chidambaram, close to sirkali town. Several literary works and scared hymns praise the glory of this temple. Appar and tirugnanasampandar, the enlightened saints visited and praised the glory of lord shiva of this temple in their very famous divine work viz.Devaram. Some poems composed by the saint vadalur Ramalinga Swamigal, Kavi Kaalamegam and Padikasu Thambiran also praise the glory of this temple and lord shiva enshrined. This is a big temple not only in size but also in art and architecture and structural mandapas. Normally, in almost all the temples, the nine planets are facing divergently but here, they are found in a row alike tiruvarur. It indicates that they are powerless under the control of lord shiva.
