Legend


It is devoted to Brahma, Sugriva, and Rama. Shiva rescued Sugriva from his brother Vaali because Sugriva could not compete with Vaali in a fight. Sugriva prayed to Lord Shiva who turned Sugriva to a swan and kept him above the 'Vilva' tree, so Vaali could not find him. It is believed Lord Rama searching for Sita came here with Hanuman and Sugriva and prayed here which gives an additional tribute to this temple.



The Temple


The temple is located 12 km away from Kumbakonam on the Kumbakonam- Mayiladuthurai road. The village has thralling streets. The best mode is taking town buses from Kumbakonam. The Aduthurai railway station is also close by to the temple. The temple is surrounded by vast streets on all the four sides. The temple is built in Dravidian style with Vimaanas and a five-story Gopuram. This temple is under the maintenance of Thiruvavadurai Aathinam1.
