Dedicated to Lord Murugan, the 40 m (133 ft) sandstone tower represents one of six sacred temple complexes of the Kaumaram region, and the only one located by the sea.

  • Marvellous magnificent and mesmerizing!!! The science behind the temple is mind blowing. The temple is below sea level but there is no invasion of sea water into the temple or rather the town itself. It is heavily crowded on many occasions and there are many hotels for having food and many lodges for staying (but the price is quite high but manageable). There are other temples nearby to visit and beach is there which is an alternate option for kids to enjoy.
  • Divine place filled with positive vibes and calm atmosphere. There will be good experience when you are inside the temple. And the sea view is amazing and devotees can enjoy and get blessed. Must visit temple at least yearly once with family .🙏🏼🌊🕉️
