This temple has accumulated its religious richness of over several centuries and enriched by the architectural styles of various dynasties. Numerous saints and Saivite devotees are closely associated with this temple, such as Gnanasambandar, Appar, Sundarar, Adi shankarar, Pattinathar and many more. The earliest evidence of this temple appears in the Tevaram hymns sung by Gnanasambandar and Appar during the Pallava period and also we find few epigraphical records commemorating the same. At present Pallava Structures are completely missing, only few lion pillars are found inside the temple premises.
This temple has been under the patronage and extended chronologically over a vast period of time by the South Indian rulers. Recent discovery of the Parantaka Chola inscription proves the continuation from Pallava to Chola. The present temple is a complete contribution of Cholas, Vijayanagara and Nayaka rulers. We also find interesting ancient sculptures and architectural features which are still alive, inside the temple.
