Lord Shiva, a swayambumurthy is facing east. Mother Muthambika was installed by Sri Adi Sankara. As a tradition, Lord and Mother grace the devotees from a single temple. Here, Lord Shiva has his own temple facing east and Ambica Her own facing west. The tail part of a serpent is on the Tirumeni (body) of Mother. There is a hole between the two temples through which Lord and Mother use to see each other.
Shivalingamurthy of Tiruvattaparai is very famously treated here. According to history of the place, Lord Sri Rama and Sugriva entered into an alliance to fight and kill Ravana sitting at this spot | |
