Devotees worship the Lord with all cosmetic substances. The temple did not have the idol of Kaduveli Siddhar earlier. The idol came out when some renovation works were undertaken a few years back. Sri Nandideva moved outside giving way to Kaduveli Siddhar to worship the Lord. This is also the temple for those praying Siddhas revered as Mahatmas.
Temple History: This is the sacred soil that gave birth to Kaduveli Siddhar. Kaduveli means open space. He taught people wisdom he learnt. He performed penance for darshan of Lord Shiva. Lord appeared before him and gifted skills in Siddhis – an art of 8 branches known as Ashama Siddhis. This needs an elaborate explanation.The temple was built by a Chola king. Of the elements covering the earth – Akash-space, Vayu-wind, Agni-fire, Appu-water and Prithvi-Earth, this temple is dedicated to Akash, hence the Lord is known as Akashpureeswarar. The king named the place after the Siddha – Kaduveli.
