Marghabandeeswarar Virinjipuram Temple is full of exquisite stone sculptures and mantapas, well worth spending half a day at least if you are an enthusiast. The massive Rajagopuram at the east entrance has 7 tiers. The Gopuram at the west side is also large with 5 tiers. On the southern and northern sides two small Gopurams have been built atop the wall through which you cannot enter. The presiding deity is a Swayambu (self-occurring) and in a leaning angle. The rays of Sun fall on the Lord in the month of Panguni (March-April). There is also a time stone here that would have shown the time of the day with its shadow in the past. The importance of Marghabandeeswarar Virinjipuram is the Rudraksha Roof above the Sanctum Sanctorum. Virinjipuram has also the reputation of being the birth place of the renowned Vedic scholar and Shiva devotee, Sri Appayya Dikshithar. A tunnel found here at Marghabandeeswarar Virinjipuram is believed to run till the Jalakandeswara Temple in Vellore. This would have been used as a secret exit to shift the valuables and deities of the temple. A temple tank (Brahma Theertham) is present to the south of the temple. A small stone tank in the form of a squarish Quatrefoil (Soolatheertham) is seen in the outer prakaram.
