This
is one of the Amman temples of Kunnathur located near the bus stand and at the
entrance of the weekly market. The presiding deity is Sri Angalamman. The temple faces North with an entrance arch. Stucco
Dwarapalaki and Dwarapalaka are at the entrance. The temple consists of sanctum
sanctorum and artha mandapam. Vijaya Vinayagar
and Nagars are under a tree. The Amman looks cute. There are two sculptures
with worshiping posture installed at the entrance of the sanctum sanctorum as
Dwarapalakas.
Some
loose sculptures are on the west side of the temple. Looking at the iconography
the sculpture may belong to the 19th to 20th Century British period. The temple has the records since 1938. The old temple was built with bricks.
Construction of a new temple with stone is in progress.
