Constructed in Dravidian style of architecture, the temple is believed to have been built by Achyuta Deva Raya during the 16th century CE.

The special features of the temple are a separate shrine for the Hindu deities of love, Manmatha and Rati.

The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu.

[1] During the 15th century, Dindigul was the scene of heavy warfare and people moved in large numbers to Thadikombu.

[2] It is also believed that a hall being named Sundarapandya, the temple might have existed from the earlier Pandyan era and might have been expanded by the Vijayanagara kings.

[citation needed] The temple is located in Thadikombu, a village in the outskirts of Dindigul in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

The dvajasthambam (flag staff) and a hall are located in axial alignment from the gateway tower to the sanctum.

The image of standing Ganesha holding an elephant-goad in his hands, Vishnu Durga, and the Anjaneya occupying pillars are noteworthy.

The fourteen life size images of the Sundarapandiya Mandapa are Vaikunthanatha, Stunanarasimha, Mahavishnu, Chakratalvar, Madanagopala, Manmathan and Rati, Trivikrama, Nataraja and Kali, Aghora Virabhadra, Rama and Kartavirya Arjuna.

[3] The composite columns of Virabhadra holding sword and horn are found be additions of the Vijayanayagara kings during the early 1500s.

As at other Vishnu temples of Tamil Nadu, the priests belong to the Vaishnava community, from the Brahmin class.
