Masilamaneeswarar Temple

The Nandhi, vehicle of Lord Shiva had escorted a King in a battle against the demons. Therefore the Nandhi is not facing Lord Shiva in the temple but instead looking in the opposite direction. There are no shrines for the Navgrahas or the nine planets as Lord Shiva is predominant.

Ambica having a waist as fragile as the stem of a plant has therefore been named KodiIdaiNayaki.  Worshipping the Mother on Poornima-full moon days and Fridays would release the devotee of all immoralities.  It is also believed mere listening of the history of this holy place would bring salvation to the person.
