A couple of months ago I had an occasion to have darshan of this temple. It is situated inside the township and is easily found. The Nataraja here is mammoth 10.1 feet tall and 8.4 feet base. An ancient temple of 500 years was apparently present here before the township was built and has been rebuilt.
The main attraction is the hall housing the Nataraja facing the main entrance.
