This is a 400 years old popular temple. Located at the junction of the St Marry's Road and Ramakrishna Math Road, this has the following legend: The main deity here was once lying along other stones at the Dharga in Ramakrishna Math road. When Arcot Nawab was going through this route, his horse was tied to this stone but the horse got the ‘Valippu'. When the horse was untied, it came back to normalcy but when it was tied again to the stone, it got the ‘Valippu' again. They then identified the stone as the Vinayahar idol and this temple was built.
