An ancient temple inside the city. A favourite shooting spot of the 80s/90s.

Presiding deity Lord Sundareswarar and his consort Goddess Soundarambikai is divine, beautiful and graceful.This is a Navagraha (Budhan) Parihara Sthalam of Thondai Mandalam.Tamil poet and scholar Sekkizhar wrote some parts of Periya Puranam in this temple.Saint Thyagaraja wrote 5 Pancharatnams (called as Kovur Pancharatnam) here.Must visit temple.

Very peaceful and serene place.

Famous for being the temple shown in.movies and serials, this hidden gem of a temple, Isa pariharasthalam for Budhan (Mercury) related issues. The temple towershows Thiyagaraja Swami, carried in.a palaquin.and refers to the temple legend of him being attacked here by robbers and two young boys (Sri Rama and Lakshmana disguise) pelting stones at the robbers

Such a serene and divine place. Most of the tamil film shooting used to happened here earlier. So blissful. There is no separate shrine for Budhan. The moolvar sundhreswarar should be worshipped on Wednesdays for people seeking Budhan vazipadu.

Very nice temple. Prayers become true. Very powerful God.

Temple prayed by Deiva Sekkizhar in Kovur.Swami and Ambal can be prayed from same place as they are in same mandapam.Pradakshinam not allowed around Sanctum due to Covud restrictions but outside circumnabulation allowed facilitating darshan of Lord Muruga,Ganesh ,Durga and Chandikeswar.Fairly big and clean corridors.

Poosari is not responsive for asking the details about Budhan parikaram. Not answering anything whatever you ask.
