Standing in a courtyard, the principal shrine to Shiva is connected to a columned mandapa. Both share a base carved with scenes from the epics and lotus petals. The main niches on the sanctum wall contain sculptures - on the north, Dakshinamurti ,on the west Ardhanarishvara and Brahma on the south.
Shrines dedicated to Pralayakaala Rudrar and Goddess Kali can also be seen in the temple complex.
The sun’s rays fall on the lingam in the central shrine through an opening in the eastern tower for 3 days in a year – on the 11th,12th & 13th days in the month of Chithrai
The presiding deity here is Lord Shiva, known here as ‘Paataala Beejanathar’.

The Nataraja shrine is exquisitely garnished with 12 zodiac signs, 2 huge horses and 4 elephants.The Nataraja idol in the Nageswara temple is one of the largest and finest images known as Chola period.
