This temple is one of the oldest shrines constructed in the Dravidian-style architecture. The presiding deity Ramanatheeswarar faces east, while Goddess Parvathavardhini faces south. As Shani is Mangala Shani here, many devotees pray to Shani for health and wealth. The rays of the Sun and Moon fall directly on the Shivalingam sometime in the month of April. This temple is a well-known Shani Dosha Pariharasthala.
This temple houses Shani with his consorts Manda Devi and Neela Devi and his sons Mandan and Kuligan. As Shani resides here with his family, he is called Mangala Saneeswaran.

Thirunaraiyur Saneeswaran temple is well connected by road, rail, air etc.The temple is open between 6 am and 12 noon and during the evenings between 4 pm and 8 pm.
