Lord Karthick Temple
This Murugan koil is an important one. The stone Nataraja vigraha is special one comparing to the metal ones normally found in all temples. Though the temple is called 'Murugal Koil' the main deity is Lord Ganesha , because we can find near the Kodimaram the vahana of Ganesha 'Moonjur' and not that of lord Muruga, which is Peacock. The elder brother gracefully given importance of the temple to his younger brother, whose sannidhi is found separately in the prahara.
