The temple is incarnated by the hymns of Appar and is classified as Paadal Petra Sthalam. Shiva is worshiped as Nadutariappar, and is represented by the lingam and his consort Parvati is depicted as Srivalli Nayagi. The presiding deity is revered in the 7th century Tamil Saiva canonical work, the Tevaram, written by Tamil poet saints known as the nayanars and classified as Paadal Petra Sthalam. This temple is associated with an ardent devotee of Shiva who worshipped him against the wishes of her husband. The husband tried to break the Linga with an axe, giving the name Naduturaippar to the presiding deity and Kanrapur to the village. There are many inscriptions associated with the temple indicating contributions from Cholas. The oldest parts of the present masonry structure were built during the Chola dynasty during the 11th century, while later expansions, are attributed to later periods. The temple houses a three-tiered gateway tower known as gopuram. The temple has numerous shrines, with those of Naduthuraiappar and Srivalli Nayagi being the most prominent. The temple complex houses many halls and two precincts. The temple has five daily rituals at various times from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., and five yearly festivals on its calendar. The Vaikasi Visagam during the Tamil month of Vaikasi (May - June) is the most prominent festivals celebrated in the temple. The temple is now maintained and administered by Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu. (en)
