Sri Ezhuthari Natheswarar is also called as Thaanthondreesar, Sri Atcharapureeswarar or Sri Airavatheshwarar. There is a small Idol for Sage Agasthiyar close to the Moolasthanam since itis believed that Agasthiyar had come to this Temple centuries ago and the Presiding Deity of Lord Ezhutharinathar had taught Agasthiyar how to read and write. Next to the Moolavar Sannadhi all the Urchavamoorthis are compiled and kept together and beside them are two Idols of Kala Bhairavar, Suryan and Chandran.

Indran's White Elephant Iravatham had come to this Sacred Tank and had taken bath here before entering the Temple to Pray to Him. It could not do so since the entrance was too small. On its Prayer Lord Shiva is believed to have widened the entrance for the easy entry of the Mammoth. The Temple has a well maintained Temple Garden or a Nandhavanam. This Temple has built its Annadhanakoodam not within the Temple, but just outside the Rajagopuram where several can be fed together. Vinayagar Chathurthi, Aippasi Annabishegam, Arudhra Dharisanam, Masi Magam, Pradhosham, Navarathri, Maha Shivarathiri are some of the festivals are celebrated in a grand manner.
