Deity

In the temple, the furious form of Subrahmanya Swami is worshipped. The Vel is pointed downwards. Subrahmanya Swamy is worshipped here in the form of Devasenapathi,^[4] the supreme general of the holy forces. The deity is in an angry and furious mood as he had just killed Tarakasuran. He faces east as seen in most of the temples, and this is the only temple with a furious form. Mahaganapathi, Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva and serpent deities are the other deities.

Perunna inscriptions

Inscriptions in Vatteshuthu alphabet can be seen at the west gate of the temple. These are believed to be written in the 10th century, during the rule of Kulasekhara Koyiladhikari.^[5] Perunna is a holy place with a lot of temples.
