Lakshminarayana Perumal Vazhapandhal is a small temple which is quite neglected but still exists. It is connected to the larger Gajendra Varadaraja Perumal temple nearby which is also very neglected. Vazhapandal has a few other temples including a large and well-maintained temple for Lord Shiva. Lakshminarayana Perumal Vazhapandhal is entered through a small gate and a dilapidated Mandapam. The single Prakaram is covered with weeds. The sanctum sanctorum is very small.
