Temple: The temple at Karuvoor is built on a 2.65 acres site. There are two gopurams in this temple. The 7 tier front Raja Gopuram is 120 feet in height. Stucco images of mythological characters are found on this tower. The second tower (gopuram) is a 5 tier one. The Pukazh Chozhar (one of the 63 nayanmars) mandapam is located in between these two towers. There are 2 corridors inside the temple. The 100 pillar mandapam is a prominent portion of the temple. The main shrine (Moolvar) is a swayambu lingam. The sun's rays falls on the lingam 3 days in a year during the Tamil month of Panguni (March 15th to April 15th). There are two shrines for the goddess. The shrine for female deity Sundaravalli is facing south and the shrine for Alagaravalli is facing east.
Brahma and Kamadhenu are said to have worshipped the lingam here.
