About the Temple The Mathur temple is another clan temple, a little over 5 km from Karaikudi. Archaeological records suggest that the temple and the inhabitation of the area date as back as over 1500 years ago. The temple is full of heavily decorated sculptors with a unique piece at the entrance. The entrance steps are laden with two flanking elephants and the pedestals for two doorkeepers, all made from stone. The nearly 70-foot tall Rajagopuram here has been constructed in five storeys. The temple is dedicated to Lord Ainootheswarar and his consort Periyanayaki.

How to Reach Mathur Well connected through roads, railways and other transportation facilities via the main city.
