A 40 feet tall flag post made of stone ageing 300 years is behind Nandeeswarar.  There is a Nandhi on the top of the flag post – Kodimaram also.  After puja to Nandhi, puja is performed to this flag post also.  Lord Sevvandhi Vinayaka Shrine is under the flag post, also called Sevvandhinathar facing west.  Sri Veera Anjaneya shrine is near this shrine.

Devotees pray to Nandeeswara seeking relief from various problems they face.

Lord Nandeeswara in the temple is 7 feet tall, 10 feet long covering a circumference of 16 feet.  Many types of Alankaras are followed including sandal paste application. People pray for total peace in life.

Lord Shiva performs His cosmic dance during the Pradosha time (said to be between 4.30 p.m. and 6.00 p.m. every day) in between the two horns of Sri Nandi.  Seeking darshan of Lord Shiva and going round the prakara during this time is equal to one crore rounds.  The devotee should worship the Lord through the horns of Nandi.  As Nandi alone is in this temple, this methodical worship brings double benefit to the devotee.

This is a sub-temple attached to Sri Thayumanaswami Temple in Trichy Fort, built during the chola period.  It is also said that the Nandhi known as Adhikara Nandhi was part of the Thayumanavar temple.  As the pathways to the temple were blocked in later days, Nandi was isolated from the main temple and thus became a temple by itself.  Pujas are presently performed to Nandi alone.
