At most, only 10 shrines are visible and the rest have disappaeared.

Puranic Significance

Prior to the demise of Sri Ramanuja Chariar the area was mostly inhabited by Saivaites.It is unique that 108 Shiva temples are located in one place. No other area has this specialty. There is a pond in front of each temple.Abhishek Puja was performed daily for the Shivalingam and Nandi in the Shiva temples with the water of this pond.After the appearance of Sri Ramanujar in Sriperumbudur, the vegetarians in the area started converting to Vaishnavism. As a result, most of the 108 Shiva temples were destroyed due to the inability to Perform pujas.While Shiva devotees travel around many towns in search of 108 Shiva temples, 108 Shiva temples are located in one town. So let us find 108 Shiva temples and renovate them and pray to the Lord to build a temple for the daily worship of the people.
