Located at the Lingi Chetty Street of Seethakathi Nagar, the temple is
700 years old. Once this temple was completely buried under the ground
and the temple Kalasam just showed up during a digging. On further
digging, the complete temple came into light and now the temple is
present 2 meters below the ground level. When the temple was uncovered,
fresh jasmine flowers were found on the Shivalingam and so the deity is
called Mallikeswarar. Goddess is considered to bless devotees with
boons. The temple Gopuram is very artistic and attracts foreigners. All
the Navagrahs are present with their respective vahanas. Aswametha and
Neem tree are grown together as a single tree. During the first Sunday
of Chithirai month, 63 Nayanmars festival is being conducted in a big
way, during which many thevara groups sing thevarams together as in the
famous Thyagaraja Aradhanai at Thiruvaiyaru.
