Here
lies a Sivaalaya in ruins, yet it surprises the visitors with a
uniqueness of its own. It has a fantastic legend narrating that the
Kali image installed here bears exact resemblance to that of
dreadful Kali, who stretched out Her tongue once, during the war
with a formidable demon, whose blood, if fell on the ground would
produce several demons alike him in power and wickedness. The potent
archamurti was adored by Lord Vishnu also. Lord Siva reveals here
three faces - one resembling the Moon-god; another Brahma and the
last one Vishnu. The temple is very big and possesses temple tank
inside the campus. The temple houses all the adorable saivate
deities.
It
lies 18 km off Pondicherry and accessible by bus.
