Thiruthaleeshwarar Temple is located 1.5 kilometer southeast of the Aranvoyal,

The temple faces the south direction with no main Gopuram. The process of constructing a 30 feet Raja Gopuram is going on in full swing. After crossing the courtyard one can find the sanctum of Lord Thiruthaleeshwarar facing the east direction. Goddess Marakathaambika faces the south direction. In the sanctum of Lord Thiruthaleeshwarar, the flying machine (vimaan or vimaanam in Tamil language) is portrayed as 'Gaja Bristha' flying machine. Generally, the image of the God who is present in the sanctum is usually embossed on the flying machine but, in this case, the flying machine present in the Lord Shiva sanctum has the image of Lord Murugan sitting majestically. This is considered a rarity.
