ThiruppanrikkOdu Sri Bhaktavachleshwarar Mahadevar temple
Sri Bhakthavatsala Swami is the chief Deity. This temple has a place in the history of Kanyakumari district.

History:
After MahAviShNu in the form of a wild pig brought the earth in place killing the daemon King Hiranyan, he still not out of his anger of war was disturbing the worlds. The Devas surrendered to the Lord Shiva who broke his horn and brought him to his normalcy. The realised ViShNu worshipped the Lord and requested Him to be adorned by the horn He broke. The Lord blessed him wearing the horn to His head beautifully. This temple is supposedly associated with this purANic event. This temple is one in the shivAlaya Ottam temples.

12.ThiruNattalam: Thirunattalam Sri Ardhanarishwarar temple
Here the pilgrimage ends. The Deity is Sri Neelakanda SankaraNarayana Swami - a Swayambu Lingam. Physically exhausted pilgrims in spiritual ecstasy have the Darshan of the Lord here. Legend says that the Purusha Mirugham was given the Divine Cosmic vision of Siva with Vishnu as His part - a vision of Harmony and Unity
There are two temples in this village. In the first temple the main god is Lord Vishnu and Lord Siva. The god is therefore called Sankaranarayanar, which means Siva-Vishnu. The idol there is suggesting that Hari (Vishnu) and Haran (Siva) are one and same. In the second temple the main god is Lord Siva and Lord Parvathi. The god is therefore called Arthanareeswara, which means half woman and God. There is a holy tank between these two temples
