This east facing  16^th ( some body claims it is 15^th century ) century Chandrasekara was built very near to Queens bath.  This temple was dedicated to Lord Shiva.

The sanctum sanctorum consists of sanctum, antarala, sabamandapa and mukha mandapa. This temple has a prakara and Rajagopuram is on the east side. The Vimanam over the sanctum was built in Dravidian style with three tiers using bricks and mortar. The sabamandpa has two entrances and the  pillars has the reliefs of saivate  deities.
