The temple is magnificently constructed, with a dome, white walls, and pillars forming the temple's architecture. Because of its religious holiness, it attracts a large number of Hindu worshippers from all across the country.
It is said that, according to tradition, Lord Shiva disguised himself as a wild boar and travelled to Earth to slay the evil demon Hirnayaksh.
