காஞ்சியிலுள்ள
பழமையான இக்கோயில் நகரின் முக்கிய சாலையான ஹாஸ்பிடல் ரோட்டில் உள்ளிடங்கி உள்ளது, வெளியில்
இருந்து பார்வைக்கு தெரியாதவாறு உள்ள இக்கோயிலும் காஞ்சியின் பொக்கிஷங்களில் ஒன்றாகும்.
மேலும், நந்திவர்ம பல்லவன் காலத்தியது. மிகவும் பழமையான இக்கோயில் இறைவனை மதங்க முனிவர்
வழிபட்டு ஐம்புலன்களையும் அடக்கியாளும் ஆற்றலைப் பெற்றார் என்று இத்தல வரலாற்றில் சொல்லப்படுகிறது.
இக்கோயிலும் முக்தீஸ்வரம் கோயிலும் பார்ப்பதற்கு ஒன்று போலவே இருக்கும், இதிலும் பல
அழகிய சிற்பங்கள் உள்ளன.
