SASTHA TEMPLE (Thichur)
Situated on the Nelluvai - Pattamni route. For the management of the two
temples Siva and Sastha half a kilometer apart a Devaswom was constituted
long long ago as they had vast landed property which even at nominal rent
fetched annually twelve thousand paras of paddy. These temples could therefore,
be centres odf cultures and charity. But after the Land Act of 1970, they
could not be maintained properly. The majestic Sastha temple with Gopuras
in east and west is a sight to see. But even daily rites could hardly be
performed for want of funds.
