Kuchanur is located near Chinnamanur in Uthamapalayam Taluk of Theni District and is close to River Surabhi. Kuchanur in earlier days was known as Shenbaganallur. The Temple has a 7 tiered Rajagopuram. Saturn or Sri Saneeswarar is the Presiding Deity here. Sri Saneeswara Bhagavan is also known as Kuchanooran. Sri Saneeswarar has manifested as a Swayambhumurthy. Generally in other Temples Saneeswarar is found as one among the Navagraham whereas here He has a separate Shrine of His own. It is considered as one of the Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu. Here God Shiva is called as Sri Dharbaraneswarar and His Consort Parvathi is known as Sri Pramambika. There are Shrines for Sri Swarna Vinayagar and Sri Subramanya Swamy. 

There is a belief that those suffering from Evil Effects have to stay in the Temple during day and somewhere in the Temple vicinity for the Night. It is believed that lighting of Sesame Oil Lamps and offering Seesame seeds along with a Black Cloth or Vasthiram is considered as an act that would drive away the Saneeswara Dosham. Also feeding the Crows is considered as a Sacred event in this Temple. Every Saturday of the Tamil Aadi month draws lots of Devotees. The Sthala Viruksham here is Shenbaga Tree. As said earlier Crows are considered Sacred and hence are first fed with the Temple Prasadam. This Temple is a Sani Dosha Nivarthi Sthalam.
