Sri Maha Rudra Bhairavar Shrine
An open-sided pillared shrine housing the fierce guardian of the temple — Sri Maha Rudra Bhairavar — along with Sri Valampuri Vinayagar and Sri Anjaneya Swamy on the front platform.
The Sri Maha Rudra Bhairavar Shrine is an open-sided pillared structure that houses one of the most powerful protective forces in the temple. Sri Maha Rudra Bhairavar, the fearsome form of Lord Shiva as the guardian of time and sacred spaces, presides here as the Kshetrapalaka — the protector of the entire temple complex. On the front platform beneath the same roof, devotees will find Sri Valampuri Vinayagar — the auspicious right-trunked form of Ganesha, rare and especially powerful — and Sri Anjaneya Swamy (Hanuman), the embodiment of devotion, strength, and selfless service. This shrine is especially active during Rahu Kala, when devotees gather to receive Bhairavar's protection against negative forces and unseen dangers.
The guardian shrine of the entire complex. Sri Maha Rudra Bhairavar's presence ensures that all who worship here are protected from negative karma, fear, and unseen forces.
Open-sided shrine with pillared roof (building=roof). Front platform under the same roof houses Sri Valampuri Vinayagar, a five-metal aimpon idol of Bhairavar, and Sri Anjaneya Swamy.
