The Kailashanathar temple was renovated by the villagers about 500 years ago. Here there were shrines of Vinayagar, Murugan and Kailasanatha. The trees were overgrown and the temple structure in poor condition without any proper maintenance. It was completely dilapidated and crumbling. Due to this, the villagers gathered together, set up a tin shed and worshiped all the deities in it. Currently, the construction work of Kailashanathar temple has been completed and the entire temple has been completed.
