The temple's history spans medieval periods, evidenced by inscriptions from the Chola and Pandya eras. Multiple shrines honor the presiding deity Agastiswara and his consort Pakampiriyal Nayagi. The temple maintains an active ritual life with six daily ceremonies and three yearly festivals, culminating in the Brahmotsavam, an annual celebration that draws thousands of devotees.
