This temple is one of the earliest in the capital, built during the Sangam rule. The temple is dedicated to Lord Prasanna Virupaksha or Shiva. This ruined temple is fairly large with a few Mantapas and the pillared cloister. The Sanctum and other parts of the temple are perennially under water. The temple for Parvathi, Shivas consort is simple. But the Kalyanamantapa is ornate and was built during the l5th century.
