The Temple is otherwise called Kampahareswarar Temple and Sarabeswarar Temple. 

Sthala Purana :

Narasimhavathaaram by Lord Vishnu was taken to obliterate the asura Hiranyan, who was loaded up with haughtiness broadcasting himself as God. Asura samharam was finished. However, Narasimha's annoyance didn't lessen. The Universe couldn't bear His annoyance. The devas appealed to Lord Shiva. To conciliate Narasimha's resentment, Lord Shiva expected the type of a bird Sarabha. This structure involves the types of a creature, human and bird – the substance of a yali, human body, and the type of a bird. The type of Narasimha comprised of a human body and the essence of a lion. Kaali(https://godsownweb.blogspot.com/2021/05/sri-pratyangara-devi-temple-ayyavadi.html) and Durga(https://godsownweb.blogspot.com/2021/06/sarabha-soolini-durga-temple.html) turned into the wings of Saraba. Master Sarabeswara lifted Narasimha to space, drew out the asura blood (Hiranyan's) and placated him. He took him to space in light of the fact that regardless of whether a drop of asura blood fell on the earth, it would prompt the rise of numerous asuras. Thus, Lord Sarabeswara took Narasimha over the universe to prevent his blood from falling on earth. The avatar of Sarabeswara involves four Gods – Shiva, Kaali, Durga, and Vishnu.

Architecture :

The 1000-year old sanctuary has been worked by Kulothunga Chola III according to Chola style. We enter through east gopuram. Ruler Vinayaka invites us! Passing by kodimaram, a special raised area, and Nandi, we discover Kambahareswarar sannidhi. He eased Varaguna Pandian of his misgivings and Brahmahathi dosham. His partner Dharmasamvardini has a different sanctuary. The design of the sanctuaries of those occasions is astounding. During downpours and floods, individuals took cover in these sanctuaries. The sannadhis have been worked at tallness with steps prompting them. During floods, these sanctuaries filled in as alleviation focuses! The greater part of the sanctuaries on the banks of the Cauvery River has been implicit in this style, remembering human contemplations. 

On emerging from Dharmasamvardhini sannidhi, we see the sanctum of Lord Sarabeswara. In different temples, Lord Sarabeswara is designed on pillars, yet here, He has a different sanctum. The temple has 2 gopurams and 3 sthoobhis. Its theertham is Saraba theertham and its sthalavirutcham is Vilva Tree.
