Location

Sitharkadu or Sithakadu is located around 8 km from Poonamallee. Shared auto-rickshaws are available from the back side of the Poonamallee bus terminus. Buses are also available for Sitharkadu from the Poonamallee bus terminus but they are infrequent. Sitharkadu can also be reached from Vellavedu which is around 3 km from there. Before the Vellavedu bus stop, the right turn leads to Sitharkadu. However there are no buses or shared-autorickshaws in this route as of now.

Architecture

This temple was built by King Jadavarma Sundara Pandian-I in 13th Century. Fish emblem in the Rajagopuram Entrance supports the belief.
