The temple is notable for its architectural design, history, and religious practices, making it a prominent cultural and spiritual site in the region. The exact date of this temple's inception is uncertain. However, its believed that the temple was built about 500 years ago by King Manuneethi Cholan, an ardent follower of lord Shiva. Oral history says that the king received a divine vision, instructing him to build a temple in honour of lord Shiva.
The rajagopuram of the temple is a seven-tier structure. There is also a wing-like form on each side of the Shivalinga that symbolises Garuda (the eagle vehicle of lord Vishnu). This wing-like form conveys that lord Shiva is closely watching our doings. There is also a scar on the Linga, denoting an injury caused by the weapon of a hunter.
