Ancient Temples of Satharai

This village got its name because, according to the traditional story connected with this place, the famous and long drawn Satharai Yagam was conducted here.

The Vasishteshwara temple for God Siva, is situated on a slightly high level and visitors need to climb a few steps to reach it. The main entrance to this small temple is on the south with a gopuram at the entrance. The central sanctum, enshrining a large Siva Linga and Linga Pitha (Avudaiyar) worshipped as Vaishteshwara, faces east.
