The small temple stands in the midst of scenic environment.  No deities are in the wall around the sanctum sanctorum.  There are no Balipeeta or flag post.  Nandi the bull vehicle of Lord Shiva is before the sanctum wearing Rudraksha.  Lord Vinayaka and Navagrahas the nine planets are in the prakara-corridor.  Neem tree assumes greater importance as there are two Ambicas in the temples.  Sri Chandikeswara is with Lord Shiva.  Vinayaka of the temple is praised as Vembu Vinayaka.

Couples pray for marital happiness and unity.

It is the staunch faith of the devotees that every deity resides in this temple, hence it was called Dheivambadi Valasu.  Deivam-God.  Later, it changed as Devambadi Valasu.  Lord Shiva appears with half-closed eyes, wearing the sacred thread as if in penance.  His eye on the forehead is in star shape and feet close to each other.

Bhagiratha, a king of the Surya (Sun) dynasty, performed severe penance for thousands of years to bring down Akash Ganga to gain salvation for his ancestors and perform tarpan.   When She-Ganga came down with a devastating velosity, Lord Shiva spread his long hair to control Her speed and save the Earth.   He allowed Ganga to pass through a hole in His hair bunch.  As Ganga stayed in the head of the Lord, she assumed the status of Lord’s consort.  The presence of Mother Ganga with Shiva in this temple has this story behind.  Mothers Ganga and Parvathi bless the devotees with Lord Shiva.
