Sri Paripoorna Krubeshwarar Temple is located in a residential locality in Munneerpallam in Palayamkottai Taluk in Thirunelveli District. Devotees may have to go through several narrow lanes from the Thirunelveli Papanasam Main Road to reach this 300 year old Temple. The actual place where the Temple is located is known as Keezha Munnirpallam. This is an East facing Temple without any Rajagopuram. At the outset there is a multi pillared Mandapam with a Gopuram. Atop the Gopuram Shivan and Parvathy are centrally seated on a Rishaba Vaahanam. They are flanked on either side with coloured Idols of Sri Vinayagar and Sri Murugan. 

Just before the Moolasthanam there is an East facing Sri Vinayagar Idol and another East facing Sri Murugan Idol who is flanked by His Consorts Valli and Devasena. In the East facing Sanctum Sanctorum the Presiding Deity of Sri Paripoorna Kripeshwarar is seen in the form of a Shiva Lingam. He looks resplendent and dazzling to the eyes of the Devotees when seen with the Naagabharanam. Facing the Moolasthanam is an Idol of Nandhi Bhagawan who is West facing. Around the Koshtam of the Presiding Deity there are Idols of Dhakshinamoorthy, Vishnu Durgai and Chandikeshwarar. Within the same Moolasthana Mandapam there is an Idol of Sri Anjaneya Swamy who is seen South facing in a standing posture. This Presiding Deity is said to be Omnipotent and the Kula Deivam of several families in and around Munneerpallam. His Consort in this Temple is known as Sri Paripoorna Krupeshwari.
