Jalakandeswarar Venkarai is an east-facing temple on a small rocky mound. The stone temple has an Ardha Mandapam before the sanctum sanctorum. Jalakandeswarar Venkarai is in a dilapidated condition and is being taken care of by a local youngster. During our visit, he had engaged an earth mover to create a path up the rocky mound to the temple. The temple survived major flooding by the Cauvery before the construction of the Mettur Dam further up. Another temple of Lord Vishnu being on lower elevation was completely damaged and has been rebuilt on higher grounds nearby. There are no other deities here except Vinayaka, a small goddess idol inside, and the old Nandi.
