The temple features two outer courtyards and a five-tiered gateway tower, with a central shrine housing a granite lingam representing Lord Shiva.
The temple contains numerous inscriptions from the Chola period, including those of rulers Parantaka Chola I and Vikrama Chola from the 10th century.
The temple belongs to the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams, a collection of Shiva temples celebrated in medieval Tamil poetry by Tirugnanasambandar.
