An extremely beautiful and peaceful place to visit. We had been wanting to visit this place for over 10-15 years and when God called us this year we could visit the Church. We were very happy to spend time in the area, visiting other nearby Churches too. A must visit place to pray for good health.

We covered this temple as part of our trip to cover all Navagraha temples from Kumbakonam. This happens to be the fourth temple (after Suriyanarkoil, Kanjanur and Vaitheeswarankoil) out of the 9 lot, to reach from Kumbakonam, which lies at a distance of around 60 kms from Kumbakonam. Lord Shiva resides here in the form of lingam with the name of Swetharanyeswarar and Lord Budhan (Mercury) is worshipped along with Goddess Vidya Ambal. One can offer prayers to them for good knowledge, academics, nervous disorders etc. Devotees can offer green cloth and green moong dal to God. One has to proceed towards outside the Shiva temple and in the right lies the Budhan temple opposite the Temple Tank. The ancient temple is covered with artistic sculptures. Avoid the shops which invite you to leave footwear at their shop to induce you into buying puja items from them. You can safely leave your footwear outside the temple. Car parking space is available at Rs. 20 and is convenient

This temple is famous for 60th marriage anniversary.. During auspicious days, we could see around 20-30 marriage anniversaries (for 60th marriage) taking place in the temple complex.. A separate hall is built for that purpose.. This temple is famous for Abirami Amman sannithi and Kala samhara Murthy sannithi.. Abirami pattar wrote 100 songs in praise of Abirami Amman which is collected in the name as "Abirami Anthathi "..
