It has sculptures and different postures of Shiva.

Siddar Havan is the most popular way of worship, wherein the individuals are permitted to perform velvi by themselves. This is also called as Navagraha Parihara Stalam. This universal shrine for worship is built by Guruji KVLN Sharmaji principle disciple of Sathguru Sri Seshadri swamigal
The temple is one of the 163 notified areas (megalithic sites) in the state of Tamil Nadu.[6]
