Where this comes from
This temple came from a public map listing (2026-10-31 Villupuram district villages), and its address, hours from its own listing, opened on 1 November 2026 and matched by its plus code. None of it has been checked on the ground. The name is written our way (title case, Sri, Kovil); the listing's own spelling is kept above.
