Till I entered in to this temple, I was not aware of that this temple was built by the Cheras and latter contribution by the Pandiyas and Vijayanagaras. This temple is on the way to Sri Thambiratti Amman Temple at Ingur.
Iraivan : Sri Allaliswarar
Iraivi : Sri Vadivullamangai
Some of the important features of this temple are...
This Shiva temple is facing west with a 3 tier rajagopuram. Dwajasthambam, Nandhi and Palipedam are in the muka mandapam. The sanctum sanctorum consists of Sanctum, antarala, arthamandapam and Mukamandapam. Ambal Sri Vadivulla mangai is in artha mandapam facing south. The arthamandapam was built during Vijayanagara Period. The Pillars has the reliefs of Shiva’s postures Like Pickshadanar, Rishabaroodar and the donar in worshiping postures.
The out side level was raised up to sanctum base and three patta kumudha with inscriptions are only visible. Brick and mortar Vesara Vimana is on the sanctum. In koshta Vishnu Durgai, Brahma, Lingothbavar, Dhakshinamurthy and Narthana Ganapathy.
In the outer prakaram sannadhi for Suryan, Saraswathy, Valli Deivanai Subramaniyar, Agathiyar, Navagrahas, Bairavar, Saneeswarar, Sandikeswarar, Kannimoola Ganapathy, Kasi Viswanathar, Mahalakshmi and Chandran.
The place Ingur was called as Karjiravanam in purana, Inthur, Inthaiyur and corrupted to the present name of Ingur. As per the legend while Devas doing thabas, Asuras came and gave troubles. To their pray Lord Shiva saved Devas from Asuras. Hence people with troubles / problems used to pray lord Shiva and get relieved.
The Temple has the contributions from Cheras, Pandiyas and the Local king Saravana Kangeyan. The temple was renovated in 1957 and Kumbhabhishekam was performed. In addition to regular poojas, special poojas are also conducted like, Prathosham, No-moon day ( Amavasai ), Tamil New year, Aruthra Dharshan, Thirukarthikai, Thaipoosam, Mahasivarathri, Navarathri, Panguni Uthram.
