The Porur Shiva Temple is renowned for its profound spiritual impact. The deity within is believed to have been consecrated by "Kharan" for the betterment of humanity and has been revered by devoted saints over the centuries. This sacred temple's history dates back approximately 2000 years. In ancient times, this hallowed ground served as a refuge for ascetic saints who dedicated their lives to meditation. It was "Kharan" who selected this location to establish a Shiva temple, imbuing it with immense sanctity. During this primordial era, Mahavishnu was also venerated at this site, and evidence of a temple dedicated to Mahavishnu can still be found to the
more east of the temple pond.
