About the Temple
Lord Easwarar - Karuppusamy temple, located at Sowripalayam, Coimbatore District in Tamilnadu, was built by 14 sub-sects of Raja Kula Agamudaiyar, over 100 years ago.

This temple deserves a special mention that in South India only here as far as the information goes, a much beautiful statue of Lord Shiva has been made Prathista.

In October 1996, the front hall ( Mandapam ) of the temple ( 16' X 11' ) got totally demolished due to the incessant outpouring of rain. As a result, the roof of the Mandapam was thrown 15-feet away from its position. The people who witnessed the incident deemed it an occurrence of wonder and are of strong belief that Lord Shiva himself desired that the temple be rebuilt with new outlook and grandeur.

To Cherish the desire of the God, the Arulmigu Easwarar Karuppusamy Kuladeivam Thirukoil Vazhipattu Mandram, a Trust formed in 1994 to carryout several charitable activities, decided to complete this Herculean task of constructing a new temple replacing the old one.

The Vazhipattu Mandram ( the trust ) started the construction work on 23^rd November 1996. Due to sustained endeavours and constant follow up action, the trust could collect donation from the public as well as from the members of families belonging to the temple.


The Trust, with the collected funds, completed the construction of the temples for Lord Easwarar, Karuppusamy, and Goddess Pachiamman, the Maha Mandapam common for all the temples, and the Meditation Hall.
