  • Ponmalai Nathar Temple, also known as Kanagagireeswar temple in Devikapuram is at a height of about 500 feet, from the mean sea level. It is thought to have been built approximately 1000 years ago during the reign of the Chola King. Later the temple was expanded during the Vijayanagara Period in the 15th century. A story says that while a villager named Irula was digging the forest and collecting roots, his axe hit a Lingam underneath. As a result of this sinful act, he fell unconscious. On account of his deep devotion to the Lord, the God appeared in his dream and told him that he is present inside the pit. At once, he found the Lingam, installed it on the top of the hillock and worshiped it. Subsequently, when a Pallava king, who was marching with his army through this place, learned of this Deity, he worshiped it and vowed to build a grand temple at this place, if he returned victorious.
