Ekambaranathar Navalur is a completely lost ancient temple which has been taken up and a small shrine for the main deity has been constructed. The original Shiva Lingam, Nandi, Amman, and the Jeshtadevi(?) idols are found here. The beautiful Lotus Pond adjacent to the south of the temple was being cleaned and restored when we visited in 2019. A large and beautiful whitish colored Shiva Lingam is found in the pond.
