The ancient temple of Uthirakosamangai is devoted to Lord Shiva. Lord Mangalanathar is the ruling god, and Goddess Mangaleshwari is his consort. In his self-manifested form, Lord Shiva is known as Swayambulinga. Pradosha Nandi is the name of the magnificent Nandi located in the outside precinct. It is thought that Lord Shiva revealed the Vedic truths to Parvati in this temple town.
The emerald-colored idol of Natarajar is a unique sight, unmatched in any other temple. It is called Maragadha Natarajar when the whole thing is covered in sandal paste. Only on Thiruvathirai star day in December/January (Tamil month Margazhi) is the sandal paste removed in order to perform abhishekam. Arudhra darshan is the name given to this unique darshan. Since the deity is again smeared in sandal paste during this festival, throngs of worshipers swarm the shrine.
