Lord Siva is in lingam form and it is big in size close to 10 feet. This temple is known for its richest architecture and currently under indian archaeological group.
Thought built by Pallavas in early 8th century, down the road aroudn 11th century when Cholas ruled entire south India , King Raja Raja Chola visit this place and stunned by its architecture and named this temple as Kachipettu Periya Thirukatrali
To come around Shiva lingam in the main sanctum, one has to go through a small opening by knell or crawl, after which we can walk straight and which coming out, again we have to bend and crawl to come out
Legend behind this is to describe human cycle, we born , crawl, kneel and then walk, again during end of the life we tend to get bend, again kneel crawl and ultimately vanish. Idea is to make people understand this
There is also saying that who goes through this will not have re-birth
Some of the pictures that depicts the architecture of this temple which was started by Raja Narashima varma and completed by Mahendra vanrman
