The Temple is situated in Koyambedu just behind TOYOTA Car Showroom and could be reached from Poonamallee High Road. Just before entering the Temple is a pillared Mandapam for Sarabeshwarar where the Idols of different Gods and Goddess could be seen. Usually Sarabeshwarar in other Temples is aggressive but her in this Temple quite contrary to it He is very docile. The Presiding Deity of this Temple is Sri Kurungaleeswarar who is otherwise called as Sri Kuchavalapureeswarar and He is considered as an incarnation of Shiva.
