History of this Temple

It is believed that the maximum area of ​​this temple comes in Venue Van, hence it is called ‘Venuvanam’. It is believed that the Nellaiappar temple was built by the Pandavas. Maharaja Nindraseer Nedumaran of the 7th century built the sanctum sanctorum and gopuram of this temple. The most famous musical pillar of this temple was built by Maharaja Nedumaran.

If seen carefully, both Nellaiappar and Kantimathi were different temples. There was also a little space between those two temples. In the year 1647 Thiru Vadamalaiappa Pillaiyan, a great devotee of Lord Shiva, joined these two separate temples by building the “Chain Mandapam”.

Music sounds are heard from the pillars of Nellaiappar Temple. There are total 161 pillars in total that make the musical sounds. You will be surprised to hear this but this is the truth. These pillars are built in a single big stone.

Nellaiappar Temple pillars

A different thing here is that, if we hit on top of one pillar, we can hear its sound from the another side pillar as well. The stone used for making the pillars of this Nellaiappar temple is naturally different, just like the different stone used for making the idol. According to Shilpashastra, there are three parts of these stones used in the construction of Nellaiappar Temple.

Masculine, Feminine, Neuter These three stones produce three different sounds. The three different stones are also used in different ways. In which male stone is used only for making idols of deities. While the female stones are used to make the idols of the goddess. Unpolished stones are used only for making jewellery.
