KURANGANILMUTTAM  is situated in the route of Kanchipuram to Vandavasi. When you go from Kanchipuram after crossing the River Palaru, you enter a village called Dhusi. From Dhusi on eastern side in a 2 KM distance you get the temple.  From Kanchipuram the temple is about 8 KM towards south direction. Car can go up to the temple.

Vaali in the form of Monkey ( குரங்கு), Indiran in the form of squirrel (அணில்) and Yemen in the form of Crow (முட்டம்)  worshiped Siva and got his blessings in this temple. Hence the name "Kuranganilmuttam " came for this temple.

This temple is built in an area of 25 Cents land facing west with two pragharams. In the South of the temple Kakkai Medu theertham is there. In the entrance, the sthalapuranam sculpture showing  monkey, squirrel and crow worshiping Siva lingam is there.
