The Venkatachalapathy temple at Krishnapuram village on the Tirunelveli-Tiruchendur main road about 12 km from Tirunelveli is one of the few specimens depicting the architectural marvel and grandeur.
It is said that Krishnappa Nayakkar of Nayak dynasty had commissioned some famous sculptors from Vijayanagaram and they have left behind a wonderful collection of sculptures that tell us tales of heroic love and tragedy.
Many rare intricately carved sculptures made of granite stone are fine exhibits of architectural skill.
This temple is dedicated to Lord Venkatachalapathy with his consorts Sri Devi and Bhu Devi on either side.
