	Temple History:

	About two centuries back, an old man of this place arranged cleaning of the tank in his land when it became dry. The idols of this temple were found from this tank. They were immediately cleaned and placed in a tent with a thatched roof. Worshipping began with lighting lamps. The temple was built later. As the deity was under water for a long period, He is also praised as Jalakandeswarar. As worshipping this Shivalinga would amount to joint worshipping of Shiva and Shakti, the Lord of the temple is called Arthanareeswarar.
