Nellaiappar Temple In Tirunelveli

Nellaiappar Temple

                    Tirunelveli is best known for its temples, and I knew that I had to visit the city’s most prominent temples. The Nellaiappar Temple is undoubtedly the city’s biggest temple in terms of architecture. The temple takes its name from the city’s ancient title, Nellai, and it is a spectacle to behold. The city’s oldest temple pays homage to the mighty Lord Shiva. Built completely in the Dravidian style, the highlights of this temple are the gopuram (central pillar) and its musical pillars.
