Nattarasankottai, located 40 km south-west of Karaikudi, Tamilnadu, houses Kannudaya Nayaki Amman or Kannathal temple.
This ancient temple renovated and expanded in early 18th Century CE is famous for its heavily carved massive pillars, architectural features and extensive stone carvings.
The deity Kannudaya Nayaki Amman is known for healing eye aliments.
Nattarasankottai is said to be the first place of settlement of the Nagarathars, after they moved out from the Chola Kingdom in the early 7th century.
The Mukha Mantapa (entrance hall) is an exceptional feature here with its expansive decorated pillars and elaborate carvings!
