Dayanidheeswarar Temple

When Lord Rama, Hanuman and his other ape companions were traveling south, they passed through this place at the banks of Kaveri River and served as a port.

For a safe river crossing, Hanuman prayed to Lord Siva here and established the Dayanidhi Lingam.

Thus the name of the village was derived as 'Vada Kurangu Kadu Thurai' meaning 'The port-forest of the northern monkey' in Tamil.

[2] There are idols of Nataraja, Sivagami, Ardhanaareeswarar, Kalabhairava, Surya, Nāga, Sanisvara, Lingam, Brahma, Murugan and Lakshmi within the precincts of the temple.

They are maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
