Kurakkukka Temple is one of the five Kaavus, the others being Tirukkodikkaa, Tirukkolakka, Tirunellikkaa and Tiruvaanaikka. This shrine was renovated and re-consecrated in 1970. It is considered to be the 28th in the series of the Tevara Stalams located in Chola Nadu north of the river Kaveri. As per legends, Hanuman worshipped Shiva here seeking pardon for the offence of having tried to uproot the Shivalingam at Rameswaram. Hanuman built a temple for Shiva at Kurakkukka nearby. It is said that a pack of monkeys enter the sanctum in the summer months of Chittirai and Vaikasi and offer flowers to the deity even today.
