The tank is before the temple. There is no tower at the front entrance. It is at the second entrance with aesthetic sculptures. Shrines of Lord Somaskanda and Chandrasekhara are in the southeast of inner corridor. Saptha Kannikas, Lord Dakshinamurthi and Aiyanar shrines are in the southern prakara with a shrine for Lord Valampuri Vinayaka in the Kanni Mooa corner. Shrine of Lord Muruga with His consorts Valli and Deivanai is in the west prakara. The Shrine of Lord Varadaraja Perumal with His Upa Nachiars is on the southern side and that of Sage Agasthya is in the north. The Agasthya Theertham is ever perennial. Shrine for Mother Ambica is in the northeast corner of the outer prakara with a Wedding Hall Tiru Kalyana Mandapam. Devotees know that Lord Shiva is praised as Artha Nareeswara as He had parted His left part with Mother Parvathi. While Lord Shiva is seen occupying the central space in the sanctum sanctorum in temples, He is on a siding to the right leaving the left for Mother Ambica. Though the sanctum has only a Shiva Linga, it is the belief that Mother too is in formless. Tiru Nedungalam in Tamil means a vast place in plains. Mother Parvathi performed penance here. Lord, in appreciation of Her worship came in disguise and took Her hands. I have visited this temple 2 to 3 times.
