The Shivalinga in the temple is flat while generally it is of a curved shape in other temples. The other speciality is, the Linga is red in colour. Besides the usual Avudayar holding the Shivalinga known as Paradhana Avudayar, there is also a carving of another Avudayar on the floor. This is a rare formation. As in the Madurai Meenakshi temple, 8 elephants are holding the Vimana – tower around the Shiva shrine in the temple. Lord Brahmma appears under one elephant and Lord Lakshminarayana below the other.
As Lord Shiva consumed the poison at the dusk time called Pradosha time, special puja is performed at this time. Those affected with poison problems, pray to the Lord on Pradosha days (13th day either from full moon or New Moon day) and also any day – dusk time for cure. | | |
