The Agama texts found on stones in the temple help date the temple to the period between 1091 AD and 1238 AD. The presiding deity is Karpaka Vinayakar or Desi Vinayaka Pillaiyar. It is 6 feet high and 5 feet wide.
A unique Tamil image of Ganesha is found in the temple help verify the temples's date.
