About the temple
A serene Shiva temple set beside a large stepped tank. Rudrabhishekam and Pradosham poojas draw devotees every fortnight, and the evening deeparadhana reflected in the tank is unforgettable.
The temple tank is fed by a canal system that has been maintained by the temple trust for centuries. Restoration of the eastern steps was completed recently.
- Pradosham pooja twice a month
- Rudrabhishekam with video
- Evening deeparadhana
