Very beautiful temple. Newly renovated. 

Our next destination was Sikkal Singaravelan Temple

8.30 AM: We came out of the Vishnu temple. Took right and reached the main road. There is a Tamilnadu Mercantile Bank ATM. That is the bus stop.

We waited for sometime. Due to office time, buses were crowded. We took a share auto (fare Rs. 10/head) to go to Sikkal. The auto stand is beside the temple.

8.45 AM: This is a very famous temple. Looks very old, but very beautiful.
