The presiding deity is Shiva in the form of Palvannanathar and his consort is known as Vedanayaki. The presiding deity is revered in the 7th century Tamil Saiva canonical work, the Tevaram, written by Tamil saint poets known as the nayanmars and classified as Paadal Petra Sthalam. The temple complex covers an area of one acre and all its shrines are enclosed with concentric rectangular walls. The temple has a number of shrines, with those of Oondreswarar and his consort Minnoli Amman being the most prominent. The temple has three daily rituals at various times from 6:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and four yearly festivals on its calendar. Brahmotsavam festival during the Tamil month of Vaikasi (May - June) is the most prominent festival celebrated in the temple. The temple is also called Bhairava Temple and sports an image of Bhairava similar to the one in Varanasi. LegendAs per Hindu legend, Shiva and Parvathi appeared to sage Agasthya at this place. It is counted as one of the eight places where the sage got the darshan of Shiva. As per another legend, sage Kabila made a lingam (an iconic representation of Shiva). A king was moving along the way and his horse's hooves split the lingam into two. The sage was disappointed and he started making another lingam. Shiva and Parvathi made a divine intervention and provided milk from the divine cow Kamadhenu that strengthened the image. The deity thus came to be known as Palvannanathar. In modern times, it is believed that the ablution done with milk is absorbed by the image.[1] Architecture{{Multiple image|caption_align=center|header_align=center|align=left | total_width = 400 |direction=horizontal |footer=Image of Shiva in various postures in the vimana |image1=Palvananathar (6).jpg |image2=Palvananathar (8).jpg }} Palvannanathar temple is located in Sivapuri, a place {{convert|5|km|mi|abbr=on}} from Chidambaram.

It is believed to the place where sage Agasthya and Valmiki are believed to have obtained grace.

The temple rituals are performed three times a day; Kalasanthi at 8:00 a.m., Uchikalam at 12:00 a.m. and Sayarakshai at 6:00 p.m. Each ritual comprises four steps: abhisheka (sacred bath), alangaram (decoration), naivethanam (food offering) and deepa aradanai (waving of lamps) for Uchinathar and Uchinayagi.[1] There are weekly rituals like {{lang|te-Latn|somavaram}} (Monday) and {{lang|te-Latn|sukravaram}} (Friday), fortnightly rituals like pradosham, and monthly festivals like amavasai (new moon day), kiruthigai, pournami (full moon day) and sathurthi.
