Later on a small Temple was built by Kadakkam Ponnusamy Odayar and Maruthavanam Pillai in the year 1950. In January 2001, Kadakkam C Thirunavukkarasu Odayer and his family took the initiative to expand and maintain the temple., Kottur Arulmigu Angalaparameswari Seva Trust was formed for the purpose of expanding and maintaining the Temple.  Since then the temple has gone through major changes and in Aug 2002, the Kumbhashakam was done by the Trust. In the Year 2017, the old Temple was demolished and in the same location the present new Temple was built and Kumbhavisagam was done on 28th Jan 2018 by the Trust under the management of KCT Ragunathan.The temple is Kula Deviam (Family God) for many communities in Tamil Nadu and other parts.
