Chosen by the Divine and established as a dwelling place of divine energies for the welfare of the universe, Sri Muthappar Karuppasamy Temple stands as the first temple ever built solely for the cosmic good.

In the year 2021, to protect the people from the dreadful demon-like pandemic Corona, and to enhance the cosmic energy of the universe, a White Shiva Linga that descended from the heavens was revealed through deep meditation. Following divine instruction, and without any prior planning or preparation, the temple was miraculously constructed in just 27 days—the 27-foot-tall White Chandra Linga, embodying the form of Shiva-Shakti.

In the sanctum sanctorum, Muthappa Swamy represents the aspect of Lord Shiva with the sacred ash (Vibhuti) mark on His forehead, and Karuppasamy represents the aspect of Lord Vishnu with the Tiruman mark, together manifesting as the first temple in the world where the union of Shiva and Vishnu aspects coexist as the Cosmic Lord (Brahmanda Nathar).

The White Chandra Linga, which embodies the boundless power of the Shiva-Shakti principle—the perfect union of masculine and feminine energies—also encompasses the energies of all 27 Nakshatras (constellations).

To demonstrate that only divine grace can guide us at all times, and despite the lack of both land and financial resources, the temple was built purely out of unwavering faith and devotion towards Lord Muthappa. With His divine guidance and through the tireless efforts of spiritual devotees working selflessly for the welfare of all beings, the temple was completed in just 27 days.

This is the first temple in the world where the Linga itself forms the sanctum (garbhagriha).
