It is believed that the temple was carved before 10th century AD.
The temple is created by cutting in between two rocks. The temple follows the Pallava style of architecture.
The Hindu reports
The walls are plain and polished with a six-feet-high door. Structures of two ‘Dwarapalakars’ stand on either side of its entrance. There is a broad verandah in front of the sanctum sanctorum.
The images of Lord Vinayaka and a sage in granite are carved on the wall of the verandah. A deep, narrow, perennial natural pond between two rocks is another attraction here.
