This is a huge temple tank about 5 km east
of the Meenakshi temple. The mandapam in the centre has
an idol of Vigneshwara (Vinayaka). It is said to have been
found when the earth was being dug out from here to build
the Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal. So, the place attained sanctity
and was converted into a teppakulam (tank). This enormous
temple tank is fed by water brought from the Vagai through
an ingenious system of underground Channels.
