NAGARAESWARAR TEMPLE
Distance: Near Ellaiyamman Temple. Between 3 east facing houses.
Shiva: Nagaraeswarar
Amman: Kannigaparamaeswari
Speciality:
This temple was built by Achudhappa Nayakkar in the 16th Century.
The main shrine is very small.
In those days the Vimanam of the temple was 20ft tall but now the Vimanam has been reduced such that it is hidden in the mandapam.
Amman Sannidhi is only a Utsava Murthy and later an addition to this temple.
There is a very small Chathiram beside the Amman Sannidhi.
History:
The Arya Vaisyars who came from Andhra came and settled in a part of Thanjavur. There they built temples for their worship.
