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).
