Religious Significance
Against the idol form, Sri Sani Bhagwan graces in the Erikuppam Temple in the form of Shivalinga. With due regard to the Easwara title Sani Bhagwan enjoys, a king built this temple for the planet installing him as a linga with the yantras. The temple disappeared due to ravages of time leaving the linga alone in the open space. As he graces as a linga with yantras, he is known as Enthira Saneeswarar.
History
The temple was built in 15th century A.D. by local people.
