Bharadvajeshwarar or Valishwarar temple, so named as sage Bharadwaja and the monkey king Vali are believed to have offered worship at this place. The main sanctum enshrining a Siva linga belongs to the Chola period, a few Tamil inscriptions found on its north and west walls, datable to the 13th century testify the antiquity of this monument. Beautiful miniature sculptures of a linga worshipped by a cow, another worshipped by a snake, and yet one more by Vali adorn the outer walls of this ancient shrine.
Goddess Swarnambika in a standing posture is installed in a separate shrine facing south. Images of Ganesha, Muruga and his consorts, Chandesha, Bhairava, Navagrahas are also enshrined in this temple .
