The temple unlike other temples dedicated to Lord Shiva does not recognise him as the principal diety. In this temple his consort goddess Parvati is the main diety. This temple is unique in the sense that the idols of Parvati and Shiva are much different that the other temples. In case of Goddess Parvati one can see a parrot perched on her right hand while the Natraja statute of lord Shiva depicts him raising his right leg instead of the normal left leg. The parrot is associated with Saint Andal who is Vaishnava azhwar.
