An excellently maintained peaceful temple surrounded by River Cauvery. No doubt or do not rethink, if you are visiting this temple, you can have bath in River Cauvery and for women folks there is room for changing wet clothes Reaching this temple is bit costly, as the public transport drops you in a nearby cross roads and one has to walk 1 1/2 km to temple. Else private cabs or auto will charge you Rs400/- up and down

The main deity here is Siva, (known as Magudeswarar). There are at least 7 major shrines within this temple for important deities, plus smaller niches for some other deities. The 3 principal deities are Siva Vishnu & Bramha and there are 3 East-facing Gopurams to signify this. This combination does not occur frequently --- more so because shrines for Bramha are rare. The Vanni tree where the Bramha shrine is, is said to be 3000+ years old.This temple also celebrates the Eastward turn of River. Kaveri and the Ganesha in the temple is believed to have engineered this. There is rich folklore behind every deity here, and that makes the temple more interesting. Do read up the stories from the net and you will be able to appreciate the art inside the temple. Devout Hindus consider this a 'parihara sthalam' (a place where you perform specific rituals to remedy certain misfortunes in your life). From a historic perspective, this is linked to the Pandya kings; it is also 'padal-petra-sthalam' (meaning saints called Nayanmars have composed hymns praising and describing the temple). This gives it not only religious significance, but also establishes the historicity of the temple. The architecture and stone carvings in the temple are very beautiful; hence, I would recommend visitors to budget enough time to stand back and observe the wonderful sights. The Kaveri river is right in front of the temple, so do go there to enjoy its serene natural beauty, and take a dip if possible. Kodumudi is on State Highway 84 between Erode and Karur. So the temple is easily reachable from both these towns. The Temple is also within walking distance from the Kodumudi Railway Station, so rail journey too is an alternative.
