The village is 13 km west of Tiruvarur considered as the principal centre of Saivite philosophy and is believed to be 1000 years old.  48 evil deities had worshipped Sastha in this temple and got relieved from the effects of their evil deeds and curses.  Lord Devaraja Swami (Deivaranga Peruman) assumed this name as the great three Lords Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva also performed pujas here.   Those who had left for other countries visit this place during festivals.   Though the temple is under the control of the HR & CE of the Government of Tamilnadu, it is noteworthy that the temple was constructed from the funds contributed by those praising Sastha as their family deity – Kuladevatha.
