    Importance: Siva appeared in the form of human being and gave food for Navakkuarasar. Vasista muni had darshan of Siva in dancing posture. Here instead of navagraha we see 9 small deepas lighted in front of Dwajasthamba.

    We see separate Yama temple outside the main temple within the compound. Inside the sanctum we see Siva and Parvathi with Muruga between them as somaskandha moortham with yama under the leg of Siva, Surya and Chandra on the top, to either side with chamaram.

    Appar, Sundarar and Sambandhar sang hymns on Siva of this place.
