Lord Shiva in the temple is a Swayambumurthi. The location of the temple tank in the Agni corner-southeast corner-is an auspicious sign in the temple. During abishek to Lord, devotees can observe the eye symbol on the Lord reminding His boon to Saint Sundarar offering an eye to him. According to scriptures, the temple was under the sea as a sand temple. | | |

| | Sundarar regains vision: Saint Sundaramurthy Nayanar once violated his promise made to his second wife Sangili Nachiar. He promised that he would never part her. As he wanted to see his first wife Paravai Nachiar, he proceeded to Tiruvarur. As a punishment for the violation of the promise, he lost his vision.
Sundarar began his journey with his blind eyes to the Shiva shrines praying for the restoration of vision. At Kancheepuram, Lord Ekabareswarar blessed him with the left eye, as recommended by His consort Sri Kamakshi. Continuing the journey, Sundarar reached Tiruvarur and prayed the Lord to regain the vision of the right eye. Lord Shiva advised him to bathe in the tank in the northeast corner and worship Him. Sundarar got back his eyes by the grace of Lord Shiva. | | |
