This temple was in depleted condition and also lost lot of original vigrahams except few like sivalingam, ambal, pillayar etc which are still there in the new temple which they have built. most of the lands were completely taken over by people. 

Kolvalainayagi sameda Kutramporuthanathar - Thalaizyayuru
forgive all our sins when we visit this temple
huge deity of sattanathar and dhoniappar is seen behind the temple if you claim 20-30 steps
the whole temple is in depleted condition. 

Request to all:  There are lot of these kind of very very old temples which are in depleted condition. instead of encouraging newer temples, as and when possible need to spend some time and money to theses gurukals/archakas who come and take care of these small old temples.
Please try to visit and encourage .
