Peruvembudayar Sastha

About the temple :

Lord Shiva created Dharma Sastha and directed Sastha to kill a demon. Once the mission was successfully accomplished, Lord Shiva gave a “linga” form to Dharma Sastha who is popularly known as Lord Ayyappa. Unique feature of the Sree Peruvembuadayar temple is that Lord Ayyappa along with his consorts Poorna and Pushkala are in the form of a “lingam” in this temple.
