The
Visit to this Sri Beemeswarar Temple was a part of Temples Visit in Tiruvallur
District, before attending the Uzhavarapani at Janamejaya Eswarar temple at
Panambakkam and Palalayam function at Senji Panambakkam Sri Kailasanathar Temple. The main purpose of
visit to this temple is to see a Pallava period Kotravai near the temple.
Moolavar : Sri Beemeshwarar
Consort : Sri Maragathavalli
Some
of the salient features of this temple are…
The
temple is facing east on the banks of Valarpuram Eri. Since the temple is very
small, there is no prahara. All the deities are installed inside the compound.
Balipeedam and Rishabam are in front of the sanctum sanctorum. Vinayagar and
Sri Valli devasena Subramaniar are on the left and right side of Sanctum Sanctorum.
There is no murtis in koshtam. Ambal Maragathavalli is in a separate sannidhi
facing south. Chandikeswarar and Chandran ( but wrongly written as Suryan ) are
on the south east and north east corners of compound abutting the wall.
ARCHITECTURE
The
Temple consists of sanctum sanctorum, ardha mandapam and mukha mandapam. The eri bund is above the sanctum sanctorum
adhisthanam. So couldn’t asses the type of adhistanam. There is no Vimanam
above the sanctum sanctorum. The front mandapam pillars are of square base with
Nagabandham and vettu pothyal. The Pillars has the bas reliefs of Donors, Cow
worship Lord Shiva, Kalinga narthanar, Monkey, Bhuta Ganas, Munis, Krishna,
Solar / Lunar eclipse, etc,.
HISTORY AND INSCRIPTIONS
It
is claimed that the temple belongs to more than 2000 years Old, but there is no

the temple may belongs to 15th to 16th century and may be
reconstructed during Nayakas period.
