ARJUNAESWARAR TEMPLE
Distance: 10kms from Madurantakam
Shiva: Arjunaeswarar
Amman:
Speciality:
There is a temple tank opposite to the temple.
In early days there was a big temple built by the Cholas. Later the temple was completely damaged and some deities were found submerged in the corner of the pond. The Villagers managed to bring out the deities Arjunaeswarar, Nandhi, Jyeshta devi and Karaikkal Ammaiyar. Of the 63Nayanmars only Karaikkal Ammaiyar is found. The presence of Jyeshtadevi confirms the contribution of Cholas.
This temple was worshipped by Arjuna of the Pancha Pandavas.
