About

Tirunelveli district is home to numerous ancient Pandya-era temples. The Nellaiappar Temple complex in Tirunelveli town itself is one of the finest examples of Pandya architecture, famous for its musical pillars in the mandapa that produce different musical notes when tapped.

The district also contains many lesser-known but architecturally significant temples in its rural areas, built by local Pandya chieftains and later Nayaka rulers.
