  Temple History:
     
  The antiquity of the temple dates to back to 1166 A D built by Chola King Rajarajan II.  The ancient name of the place was Theeyanur.  From an epigraphy note in Gangaikonda Cholapuram of Rajadhi Rajan I period, it seems that the place was known as Manukula Kesari Nallur.  Presently there are two Theeyanurs, one the Udayavar Theeyanur where the Shiva temple exists and the other as Perumal Theeyanur with a Vishnu temple.
As a hot region with high summer, the place is called Theeyanur – place of high mercury levels.  Earlier this was dense with Vilwa trees known Vilwaranyam.  Sage Jamadagni chose this place for his penance on Lord Shiva and installed a Shivalinga for his worship.  Hence, Lord is praised as Jamadagneeswarar.  Agni – God of Fire also worshipped and hence the name of the Lord, according to one story.
The theertha near the temple is known as Agni theertham.  The Marudhai River flowing here is also considered very sacred.  Sage Parasurama incurring the dosha caused to him for killing his mother as commanded by his father Sage Jamadagni  used to bathe in this river and worship Lord Shiva for relief from the dosha, hence the river is also praised as Parasurama River.
