==The Temple==
Aditya Chola constructed this temple during the 9th century. It is great marvel of Chola architecture, building technology and astronomy. The orientation is structured in such a way that it allows sunlight inside the temple, right on the sanctum only during the Tamil month of Chithirai (April/May). It bears another name called ''Surya Kottam'' or ''Keezha Kottam''. The ''Karuvarai''(Sanctum Sanctorum) of Nageswaran temple is similar to Sarangapani Temple, as it is made in the form of a Chariot. The temple consists of three gopurams in the eastern, western and southern directions. There is a local belief that the worship during morning, afternoon and evening needs to be performed at the three Nageswaran temples namely Nageswaran Temple, Tirunageswaram and Thirupampuram respectively. The temple is designed in such a way that during the first three days of Tamil month ''Chittirai'' (April - May), the rays of the Sun falls directly in the base of the presiding deity in sanctum sanctorum.〔R. 2001, pp. 217-8〕
