Thirparappu

Thirparappu is a large temple situated on the banks of the Kodhaiyar River. The river flows on the west, south west of the temple and the falls created by it is just below this beautiful temple. The Thirparappu falls is a famous tourist attraction here. The temple has 2 Prakarams, the outer one being large and spacious. There are four gateways on the four sides, but only the north and west are functional. The northern gate leads down to the river and a Mantapa used for bathing the processional deities. The shrines in the outer Prakaram look newly constructed. The temple is in Kerala style with lamps lining the face of the inner Prakram on all sides, circular Sanctum Sanctorum, tiled constructions and paved paths for circumambulation.
