Agneeswarar and Karpagavalli Amman are worshipped as Lord Shiva and Parvati in Kanjanur. Lord Shiva Himself is worshipped as Sukran and hence the Navagraha, Sukra, lacks a separate shrine. The principal deity, Agneeswarar, represents Lord Sukra in the form of lingam, unlike other Navagraha temples. During this temple inside the Nataraja Sabai noted by the Mukthi Mandapam, stone pictures of Natarajar and Sivakami are seen.

Three sacred rivers encircle Alangudi. They are Cauvery, Vennaru and Kolidam. Temple I is surrounded by 15 theerthams, which are very common among the Amrita Pushkarani that surround the temple.
Legend has it that Alangudi is the place where the deadly poison released during the churning of the 'paarkadal' (sea of milk) was eaten by Lord Shiva. Therefore, the location is known as Alangudi, which literally means the location where the poisonous poison was eaten by Lord Shiva. When churning the paarkadal for nectar, the Devas were hindered by the snake Vasuki's poisonous fumes and prayed for deliverance to Lord Shiva.

He is also referred to as Rajanipati, meaning Kshupakara, the lord of the night, meaning one who enlightens the night. The head area was joined by the snake's body and became Raghu Bhagavan. Kethu bhagavan becomes the body part unified with the head of the snake. Ragu and Kethu Bhagavan, Suryan and Chandran, do not forgive. Ragu began eating Chandran.
