The bridge is currently being built for the benefit of the people. The temple is located in the middle river between the two banks, hence the name Naduarthu Eswarar. This Nattatheswarar is not a lingam made by anyone. It is a lingam created and worshiped by Agathiyar for worship. In This temple Murugan is shown posing with his right leg forward and walking behind the middle. When Agathiyar came here to visit Lord Shiva, Murugan welcomed him in front of him and showed him the hill in the middle of the river. Having a parrot in his left hand is a different vision.
