History
Also called Palasavanam, this temple is where Agni worshipped Shiva. Unusually, Sukran has no separate shrine — Shiva himself is worshipped as Sukra.
Significance
Sukra rules wealth, beauty, marriage, vehicles and comforts. Worship here removes Sukra dosha and blesses artistic and financial prosperity.
Pariharam
Offer white lotus, mochai (field beans) and ghee lamp. Donate white cloth or curd rice on Friday and perform Sukra homam.
