Sthalam: Thiruvetkalam
Swami: Pasupatheswarar
Ambal: Nalla Nayagi (sathgunambigai)
Legend: It is said that Arjuna did penance here and shiva gave Pasupathstra to him in this place only.
Route: The temple is located in Annamalai nagar. It is good to take an auto. Everyone in the campus knows about this temple and is very big also. One has to enquire for music department and has to walk straight in the same road itself, which will take out of the university campus, but within annamalai nagar. Within 5 min walk from Music department, we can reach the temple.
Special Structures: There are lot of small and even minute sculptures in the temple. For example, even the dwarapalakas themselves are very small. A Rishabaruda sculpture with complete fine art within small stone is a treat to eyes. Similarly almost all the sculptures are small. One can circumbulate both swami and ambal individually and also by merging both shrines.
Within the reach is other two temples (within the same village- Sivapuri). Will discuss that next.
