Realizing their mistake, they sought his forgiveness. Pleased, Lord Shiva performed a dance on his mount Nandi's horns, earning the name Nandeeswarar. The temple's architecture reflects the Dravidian style, with the main sanctum housing a large east-facing Shiva Lingam. The goddess Soundara Nayaki has a separate shrine within the temple complex.
