Very clean temple and was well decorated at the time I had been there. There is a temple pond which is well maintained with proper barricades. The temple also had an elephant at the entrance which was mejastic. Overall, the place was neat, peaceful and devotional.

The lord is said to be the elder brother of Thirupathi Venkateswara. It is nearby Kumbakonam railway station and bus stand. Easily accessible through public transport. Lots of buses ply till the entrance of temple. You can taste really nice prasadams here in temple which will have no traces of salt. (Salt is skipped purposefully)
