Devotees pray to Lord Shiva and Lord Adhinarayana for
removal of the obstacles they face in wedding matters. Custodian deities
Sangili Veerappa Swami, Pon Madan and Oonamuthu help development in trade and
occupations. They also protect the
devotees from the impact of black magic and evil looks of unwanted
persons. People light Deepas on Wednesdays
in the shrine of Lord Yama to overcome fear of death. There is a flow of devotes in the temple.

Greatness Of Temple: | |
|
|
|
|
It is strange in this temple that sacred ash is offered as
Prasad in Vishnu shrine. As Vishnu in
the temple is believed to be the incarnation of Lord Surya Narayana, He is
praised as Adhi Narayana. Lord Shiva
appears in Linga form. On Shivrathri
day, water is fetched from Kuttralm for abishek. The temple observes four time puja a day at
all shrines.

Temple History: | |
|
|
|
|
This is a temple for both Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. Veerappa Swami and Pon Madan have attributes
of Lord Shiva, hence they are custodian deities. Yama once indulged in matters not related to
his assignment and was cursed by his father Sun God. He came to Earth and worshipped Lord Adhi
Narayana for relief from the curse.
Hence, he is granted space opposite to Lord Vishnu. The place and the temple were established by
the Viswakarma community from Madurai
and Rajapalayam. The consecration of the
temple took place in the month of Aani (June-July) in the year 2013.
