It is considered that Ganga devi herself is present in the temple tank and Yama bathed here and got his curse cleansed out.
Mahavishnu with Sridevi and boodevi is present
Visited by Maha Periyava more than 10 times
It is said that the breathing out of Nandhi is felt/heard by people during the pradhosha times
It is also said that a strange sound of somebody breathing out from inside water is heard inside the sanctum sanctorum.
Square shaped Avudaiyar
Sathurasra vimanam
Amman Thirupura sundhara nayahi seems to appear differently on different days.
Chithra gupthan is also present in the praharam
A jeeva samdhi of an unknown Siddhar is also present in the paraharam
This is an appropriate place to conduct Sashtiapthapoorthi, Beemaratha Santhi, Sathabishegam and Mrithyunja homam
Since Lord Shiva himself is present here as Kala Anugraha moorthy, this is a good place for Kala Sarba dhosha parihrams.
As in any ancient temple, here also there is no Navagraha shrine.
