This place is the head office of the chief Jain monk and possesses rare Jain manuscripts. It can be noticed on the way to Tindivanam from Gingee. One can see lots of temples here, which are devoted to Jain Tirthankaras. The Jain temples of Mylapore were shifted to this remotely placed inland during the beginning of Christian epochs when portions of Mylapore were flooded under the sea. Some fine carvings can be seen here in this place. This temple is often visited by the Jain research scholars. A good number of Jains scattered close by come for worship.
