This Temple is located in Alapakkam which is part of Porur in Chennai. There is a Welcome Arch at the beginning of the street where the Temple is located.  Lord Shiva in the form of a Lingam is the Presiding Deity here and is known by the name Paaleeswarar.  Goddess Parvathi is called by the name Paaleeswari. Unlike other Shiva Temples the Lingam is placed on a square pedestal instead of a circular one and hence this is an indication that the Temple was constructed during the Pallava Period. The first Kumbabishekam was done in the year 1994. There is a Sthupi here in which Vaali, Sangu Chakkaram and Garuda are here. There are Shrines for Nardhana Ganapathi, Dakshinamurthy,  Brahmma, Vishnu, Durgai, Chandeekeswarar, Kaala Bhairavar,  Seetha Ramar Sannadhi, Anjaneyar apart  from a Navagraha Sannadhi.  Sankadahara Chathurthi, Pradhosham, Shasthi are celebrated here in a grand manner. Sangabishekam is performed on all Karthigai Somavaram.
