Rathi Devi is believed to have prayed here to get united with Manmathan. The Veerattastalam Tiruppariyalur associated with Manmathan's tryst with Shiva, is located nearby.

This temple dates back to the period of the Chola King Aditya I (9th century AD). With just one prakaram it occupies an area of about 2 acres. Inscriptions from the Chola period and from the Maratha period are seen here.
    Festivals: Four worship services are offered each day. The annual Bhrammotsavam is held in the month of Chittirai.
