Brahmani emerged from Brahma, Vaishnavi from Vishnu, Maheshvari from Shiva, Indrani from Indra, Kaumari from Skanda, Varahi from Varaha and Chamunda from Devi,[4] and additionals are Narasimhi, Vinayaki.

[1] They are: Daksha, cursed Chandra, as he loved only his daughter Rohini and not taking into consideration others.

He came to Thazhamangai and worshipped the presiding deity and got his curse cured.

A close look at the bana, the top portion of linga, would make one to understand its ancient nature.

In between the main temple and the entrance a concrete mandapa with granite floor is found.

At the end of the mandapa, after crossing over the entrance, Vinayaka and Balamuruga are found on either side.
