This temple is
adjacent to Sri Karunakara Venkatramana Perumal Temple. The temple’s sthala purana is linked to the Avanashi Shiva
Temple. Since the Sivachariyar’s residence is just adjacent to the temple,
Sivachariyar’s son helped us to visit this temple.
Presiding deity : Sri Gangadeswarar
Ambal : Sri Kamalambigai.
The important salient
features of this temple are….
The temple is facing
east with a Gurudathoon or Deepasthambam. Entrance arch instead of Rajagopuram
with a stucco image of Shiva and Parvathi on the top. Inside the temple complex, Subramaniyar
Sannadhi is in between Sri Gangadeeswarar and Kamalambigai Amman temple. All three sannadhis are facing east with respective Vahanas and balipeedam. Moolavar is swayambhu. In Koshtam, Dakshinamurthy, Lingothbavar, and Durgai.

Suryan.
ARCHITECTURE
Sri Gangadeeswarar sannadhi was built with sanctum antarala, artha mandapam and a mukha mandapam.
HISTORY AND INSCRIPTIONS
There is no inscription
found. Since the Perumal temple adjacent to this was constructed before Kongu Chozha Veera Rajendran's period during the 11th to 12th Century, we
may take this temple also constructed in the same period and later expansions or renovations were done by Vijayanagara Dynasty.
