Wonderful temple situated in township. Nice and peaceful place. The Lord here is known as Kailasanathar and the lordess as Dharmasamvarthini. The lingam here is swayambamoorthy, ie self manifestated. The temple has beautiful carvings and sculptures. The temple holds a four pillared oonjal mandapam in front of lordess. It contains amazing sculpture of parrots holding a lotus atop. It also holds musical pillars in it which is unkonw till now for many people. This temple was built byValvil Ori, who ruled this region a long ago with capital in kolli hills.
