Though highly praised in the hymns of saints, presently the temple is in a bad and dilapidated condition.  There is no safety or any facility needed for even an average maintenance.  A devoted Sivacharya is doing a one time puja with difficulty.  The devotees have to come forward to renovate and restore the glory of the temple.

Lord grants every wish of His devotee.

This is one of the Mada temples built by Kochengannan.  As the three eyes of Lord Shiva, the place has three Shiva temples.  The right eye of the Lord is Viswanatha-Visalakshi temple, the second left is with Lord Brahammapureeswarar with Mother Perianayaki and the third forehead is for Lord Vaigalnathar with Mother Kombial Kothai.  Lord Brahmma, Lord Vishnu, Mother Mahalakshmi and Sage Agasthya had worshipped in this temple.

One elephant, searching for its calf damaged an anthill of ants.  They bit the elephant and killed it.  Both prayed to Lord Shiva and attained salvation here.

Mother Earth –Bhoomidevi prayed to Lord Maha Vishnu to marry her which Lord obliged and had Her as His consort.  This was not acceptable to Mother Mahalakshmi and left the Lord.   She came to this Shenbagavanam and took on a severe penance to get back her Lord.  Lord Vishnu and Bhoomidevi came in search of Mahalakshmi.  Brahamma followed in search of Lord Vishnu.  They found Mother Mahalakshmi here and prayed to Lord Shiva.  By the grace of Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu had both Lakshmi and Bhoodevi as His consorts.

Lord Shiva is a swayambumurthy in the temple.
