Significance of the Temple

For devotees, this temple is important to reduce or remove Sukra dosha (malefic effects of Venus) in their horoscope. Worship here is believed to bring wealth, beauty, harmony in relationships, good health, prosperity, and favorable outcomes.
Sukra is the planet that governs love, comfort, luxury, aesthetics, arts, marriage etc., and here devotees perform remedies / poojas especially on Fridays (day of Venus / Sukra) to seek these benefits.
The temple is also a Paadal Petra Stalam (one of the temples sung by the Tamil Saivite saints), which adds spiritual prestige.
