This temple exists from ancient times, but not in the present shape. As per the old Lady who does the pooja, Jada Muneeswarar was in the trunk of a banyan tree, the banks of an eri’s bund. Now the band has been converted as a linking road of Manapakkam and Gerukambakkam. Slowly the temple was built with a stucco image of Sri Jadamuneeswarar. Actually Jadamuneeswarar is a Grama Deity, who gaurds / protects the Village.
In praharam, Stucco image of Jadamuneeswarar’s Horse, and Saptakannis.
