Thiru Karambanur, unlike its counterparts in South India is small in size though unmatched in antiquity. <blockquote>''"Several puranic accounts bring out the importance of this Kshetra without a Shikhara. The temple is endowed with such rare merits that it has a reason for its prominence and there are several stories enumerating the same", says Prof. S. Narayanan.''<ref name=":0" /></blockquote>

There is also a separate shrine for Goddess Lakshmi who resides here as Poorvadevi.<ref name=":0" />

 

The lord of Thiru Karambanur is extolled in great detail by the Brahmanda purana and by Thirumangai Alwar in one of his hymns. It is said that the Lord revealed himself in his glorious Bhujanga shayana form to Kadamba Muni and Thirumangai Alwar. That is one of the reasons why the theertha is popular by the name Kadamba theertha.<ref name=":0" />
