Aadhi Easwarar Kizhavaneri is a beautiful little temple that is filled with different trees including Rudraksha, Thiruvodu, Peepal, Purasu, Naaval, Vanni, Nagalingam, Paneer, Shenbagam, and an old Athi Tree. All these have been brought, planted, and nurtured by a dedicated devotee who stays nearby. The temple is entered through small gates in the south and the east side. A single prakaram houses the Sanctum Sanctorum and the shrines. The main deity is an old lingam with a broad Aavudayar (base). The goddess is in a separate east-facing shrine on the south side of the main deity. There is an ancient and completely lost Perumal Temple about 200 meters behind Aadhi Easwarar Kizhavaneri.
