railway station. This village is now known as Neivennai. This is the
10th of the 22 Tevara Stalams in the Nadu Naadu region of
Tamilnadu. Legend has it

This temple which covers an area of 2 covers has 2 towers with stucco figures.
Inscriptions speak of the endowments carried out by Kulottunga I (1070 - 1125) to the main
shrine and to the Ambal shrine here. One of the later inscriptions refers to Shiva as
Porkudam Koduttu Aruliya Nayanaar. Very little is known about this temple outside the
village in which it is built. |
