Arunchunai Kaatha Ayyanar Temple, Melaputhukudi, Thoothukudi

Arunchunai Kaatha Ayyanar Temple, Melaputhukudi, Thoothukudi
Arunchunai Kaatha Ayyanar Temple is located in Ayyanarsunai River Bank which is located in Melaputhukudi at a distance of 10 kms from Thiruchendur and 40 kms from Tirunelveli. Natural water gushes out from the spring at this place. It is a good picnic / excursion centre. Close to this hamlet is a forest with sand dunes. This Temple is dedicated to Village Deity Ayyanar.


























Ayyanarsunai River Bank is worth visiting if you would like have a look at the famous Melaputhukudi Ayyanar Temple, which is a popular tourist destination. The temple is close to a natural spring known as ‘Sunai’, hence it is called Arunchunai Kaatha Ayyanar Swami or Ayyanar Sunai. The village has many pretty ponds and a charming thazhampoo groove.
