The Tiruvagnisvara temple at Tirukattupalli perhaps came into existence in the latter part of reign of Parantaka I (907 - 954 CE) or Gandaraditya (949 - 957 CE). The temple faces the west and the original temple consisted only of the sanctum sanctorum (garbagriha) with the tower over it and the front hall (ardhamandapa). The mouldings of the basement are plain. At a later stage an entrance porch (mukhmandapa) and an Amman temple were added. A fine Nandi of the tenth century is found on a pedestal in a mandapa of its own in front of the temple. There are also images of Brahma and Vishnu, Chandesvarar, Jyeshthadevi and Bhairavar.
