Porpanai Easwarar Vadavirinjipuram is an ancient temple which has been almost lost over time. The Lingam was in a thatched hut when we visited in 2013. A lot of stone and partly finished pillars were seen during our visit and it is heartening to know that this temple will be back to its old glory soon. The large Nandi is a very beautiful one and depicts the antiquity of the temple. The Palar river divides into two branches a little way before Porpanai Easwarar Vadavirinjipuram and rejoins some way down. The temple is situated in a beautiful and peaceful location in this island.
