This
temple has existed since ancient times, but not in its present shape. As per the old
Lady who does the pooja, Jada Muneeswarar was in the trunk of a banyan tree,
the banks of an eri’s bund. Now the band has been converted into a linking road
between Manapakkam and Gerukambakkam. Slowly the temple was built with a stucco
image of Sri Jadamuneeswarar. Actually, Jadamuneeswarar is a Grama Deity, who
guards/protects the Village.
In
praharam, Stucco image of Jadamuneeswarar’s Horse, and Saptakannis.
