The Saptha Risheeswarar temple at Lalgudi and Tirumandurai Shiva temple are near this place.  There are shrines for Sapthamadhas, Lords Bkshadana, Viswanatha, Bhairava, Muruga and Mother Visalakshi in the prakara.  A sculpture depicting Lord Brahmma’s penance is near the Dwarapalakas.

Those suffering from hearing troubles pray to Lord Vinayaka in the temple.

The remarkable feature of the temple is the presence of Lord Vinayaka with His big ear leaning on a side – Sevi (ear), Saitha (leaning) Vinayaka – Sevi Saitha Vinayaka.  Saint Tirugnana Sambandar fed by Mother Parvathi at Sirkalai and achieving high  and ripe poetical skill singing the glory of Lord, was passing through this place.  Lord Shiva, to test the saint caused heavy floods in Cauvery.  The saint could not reach the place.  He sang in praise of Lord from the other side of the river, but the sound could not reach the temple clearly. Vinayaka in the temple with a view to help the saint also known as a Ilaya Pillayar-Younger Pillayar- turned His ear on the direction of the sound and enjoyed the hymns with a smile.  He bent one of His legs, sat in a half-sitting form with His ears wide open.  A sculpture depicting this story is a masterpiece of temple architecture in the temple.  The temple has a beautiful Rajagopuram.

Though under the administration of HR & EC, the temple is in a poor condition.    The history of the temple is not clearly available.  Presiding deity Satyavakeeswarar

a swayambumurthy is facing east.  He is also praised as Brahmmapureeswarar as He was worshipped by Lord Brahmma.  Mother Soundarya Nayaki is blessing the devotees.  The name of the place Anbilandurai is a combination of the name of the place Anbil and the name of the temple Alandurai – Anbilandurai.  Sage Vakeesa had worshipped in this temple.
