Presiding deity
Daksha, cursed Chandra, as he loved only his daughter Rohini and not taking into consideration others. For the children, he met Chandra. Chandra did not heed his advice. Daksha cursed him and the power of Chandra got waned. The power of Chandra got reduced. He felt sorry for what he did. He came to Thazhamangai and worshipped the presiding deity and got his curse cured. As Chandra worshipped the deity, the presiding deity is known as Chandramouleesvarar. The presiding deity in the garbhagriha is represented by the lingam known as Chandramouleesvarar. The Goddess is known as Rajarajesvari. The complete structure of garbhagriha is made of brick. No granite is found. The architectural style which is generally found in the temples of Thanjavur could not be seen here. The presiding deity might have been taken from the dilapidated structure which was in existence through so many centuries and is kept now. A close look at the bana, the top portion of linga would make one to understand its ancient nature. The shrine of the Goddess is found in the north. It is facing south. The Goddess is having four hands and is found in standing posture. In the east of the temple, the temple tirtta known as Chandra tirtta is found. Temple structure
