The Lord Avinashi Lingeswar enshrined here is looked upon as the
offshoot of the one in Kashi (Banaras). Thus Avinashi is called the
Kashi of Kongunadu. ‘Avinashi means ‘imperishable’, ‘eternal’.
Karunambikai
One of the unique
features of this temple is that Lord’s consent named Karunambigai Amman
is seen on the right side of the Lingeswar. The Sanctum Sanctorum of
Karunambigai Amman is located in the southern side of the temple
corridor.
