Sri Guru Mutheeswarar Temple is a North facing Temple and it is located on the main road near the gate of the District Collectors Office in Thiruvallur Town. The full name of the Temple is Sri Bommi Ammal Samedha Sri Guru Mutheeswar Temple. There are two Idols of a Vinayagar and Murugan who are seen North facing and in a standing posture at the Temple's main gate. The unique aspect of this Temple is the Statue of a Nandhi and a Huge 41 Feet Lingam which is otherwise known as Rajalingam. This Shiva Lingam is flanked on either side by two white Nandhi Idols. During the time of Shivarathiri a crane pours around 2000 litres of Milk on the Lingam. Devotees may have to climb 4 to 5 steps to reach the Temple premises. The Gopuram of the Moolasthanam has coloured Idols of Shivan, Parvathy, Vinayagar, Murugan. There are two green Yaali Idols placed on either side of the steps. There is a North facing Shrine in which the Presiding Deity of Guru Mutheeswarar is in a Human form instead of the usual Lingam in other Temples. His Consort is known as Goddess Bommi Ammal. Thirukurippu Nayanar is also found standing just beside Guru Mutheeswarar in the Sanctum Sanctorum. The Temple has an East facing Shrine of Sri Gnana Lingam who is in the form of a Shiva Lingam and He looks eye appealing when seen along with the Naagabharanam. Standing guard on either side of the Shrine of Sri Gnana Lingam is an East facing Gnana Vinayagar and another East facing Idol of Sri Subramaniyar flanked by His Consorts Valli and Devasena. There is a West facing Neivedhya Peedam or Bali Peedam, a Dwajasthambam or Kodi Maram and a Nandhi Bhagwan facing the Shrine of Sri Gnana Lingam. Close to the Nandhi Vaahanam are two Idols of Vinayagar. Devotees cannot enter the Temple through this Eastern entrance but instead they may have to enter the Moolasthana Mandapam only through the Northern entrance. Around the Koshtam there are Idols of a South facing Dhakshinamoorthy, a West facing Sub Shrine of Maha Vishnu, and North facing Sub Shrines of Brahmma and Durgai.
