After
darshan of Sri Adhiswarar visited a Veeramathi Amman Temple, which is about 0.5

little curious to know about this temple. This temple belongs to Kurupa nadu,
padaithalai vellalar, Eenja kootam, a sub section of Vellalar caste. Please
note that ‘Kuruppa nadu’ is invariably knowingly or unknowingly used by the
people of this region in many occasions.
