Agneeswarar..Thirukollikaadu. Agni worshipped the Lord and hence the name. Here Sani Bhagawan is in gracious form and called Pongu Sani, who does good. Nala is said to have prayed here after he lost everything. The navagrahas face each other and hence their ill effects are negated. It has become more of a parihara sthalam.

The temple is dedicated to Shiva, as the moolvar presiding deity, in his manifestation as Agneeswarar. His consort, Paravati, is known as Panjin Melladi Ammai. The historical name of the place is Keeralathur. This is also famous for pongu sannieswar temple. History: Agni was under the hold of ezharai sani when he had missed some of his energy due to the following factors. Agni took part in a yaga performed by Dakshan who was the father-in-law of Lord Shiva. The main objective of performing yaga by Dakshan was to offend Shiva. Agni had also been affected with dosha when the wax palace was burnt with the purpose of destroying the Pandavas. Fire (Agni) interceded with Lord Shiva at this place to return his energy. Lord Shiva gratified him here & therefore known as Agnesswarar. There is a tale behind how this temple is so essential for Saneeswaran praise. Saneeswaran is just a planet that has effects on the individual according to his karmas (deeds). However, individuals misinterpreted and terrifying the very discussion of the name. Ezharai Sani or the 7.50 % period interval when the planet molds its malefic impact on the native of the horoscope is a terrifying periods. In the same way Ashatama Sani is feared. Saneeswaran did not like this and he appealed to the Lord that he should not be blamed accountably or attributed for doing his allocated process. Master Shiva was satisfied with Saneeswaran and conferred him the title Saneeswaran here. No other planet has the tag Easwaran connected. He instructed Saneeswaran to remain at this temple as Pongu Sani and bless the enthusiasts.

One of the rare temples in India where Pongu Shaneeswarar has a shrine.

The temple is located in a very peaceful village environment. Facilities have been provided here for the homeless. No restaurants. There are only pooja shops. Sesame lamp lamps are available at the temple entrance. You can get the grace of God peacefully without any disturbance.
