A very less known place even in Madurai. There is a Temple carved out of Stone dedicated to Lord Narasima Near Othakkadai. Town bus- from [Route N0.75/66] Madurai periyar bus stand.

Nagamalai:
Caves where the early Jain saints lived. Town bus from [Route No. 21,55,40] Madurai periyar bus stand.

Theppakulam :
Madurai's great tank is another marvel attributed to Thirumalai Nayaka. The square tank has steps, flanked by animal- and bird - shaped balustrades, leading down to the rippling waters. This is the venue of the annual Theppam festival, celebrating the marriage of Shiva and Meenakshi, when their images are taken in illuminated boats to the small pavilion in the centre of the tank.

Pazhamudhircholai:
Situated on a small hillock about 2 kms from Alagarkovil, this is one of the six abodes of Subramanya.
