Beside the KKS road at the 13km marker, south of the village of Tellippalai, the Thurkkai Amman Kovil is set behind a deep, stepped pool. The temple celebrates the goddess Durga and draws crowds of women on Tuesdays and Fridays, when devotees pray for a good spouse. Look for the carving of elephants pulling a train.
