VENGAIVASAL SHIVA TEMPLE
SORNAPUREESWARAR TEMPLE
The original name of Shiva was Vengeeswarar/Vyakrapureeswarar. The name of the village has derived the name as Vengaivasal from the name of Shiva. This Linga was worshipped by Sage Vyakrapadhar. This was a brick temple. Only Shiva and Nandhi were found in this temple. Shiva has a round Aavudaiyar. The Linga is a Suyambhu Linga. The impression of tiger's nails are found on the Linga. Sage Vyakrapadhar stayed in this place and worshipped Shiva here for a Long period of time. The Theertham of this temple is Vyakra Theertham which was created by Vyakrapadhar. Indhiran has also worshipped this Linga. This temple was found near fields. Lord Shiva gave Mango fruit to Vyakrapadhar when he was hungry. Later a small roof was built. Now a temple has been constructed with all the deities pertaining to the Shiva temple. An Amman sannidhi with the name Mangalambigai has also been added to the temple. Since the mouth of the ancient Nandhi has been damaged a New Nandhi has been placed in its place. The old Nandhi is also found in this temple. The Name Vyakrapureeswara has been changed to Sornapureeswarar as a new name was adviced to the people in that area to be kept for the deity.
