    Calm environment to sit and pray. Its open from 6 to 8.30 in normal days. Special poojas happen for special occasions. Clean place. Can do special poojas by requesting the poosari earlier. Flowers and garlands are available outside the temple.

    Kathiresan Pillayar Kovil - built more than hundred years ago dedicated to the Thamizh Kadawul Murugan/Skandhan (Tamil god Murugan/Skandan). An Unique architecture and colorful sculptures of the Hindu gods in the Gopuram makes the temple an eye-catching holy place. There are separate shrines for God Vishnu, God Hanuman, Bhairavar (The fierce manifestation of Shiva), Saneeshwaran, Navagraha Baghavans. There are enough spaces for you to sit and pray or even meditating.
