Mangayarkarasi Mandapam(Sree Meenakshi Temple)
Going south from the Thousand Pillar Mandapam,we come to an open space where we find newly built mandapam.Bricks,cement and iron rods have been used in constructing this mandapam.
The statues of Mangayarkarasi,Kulachirayar,Koon pandyan and Gnana sambandhar find a place in this mandapam.The Linga form of Lord Siva has also been used in constructing this mandapam.
This Mandapam has been named after the sainty queen who contributed a lot the growth of bothi tamil and the saivite religion.It is also a sample of the renovation of sree Meenakshi temple during 1960-63.
To the south of the Mangayarkarasi Mandapam is the servaikarar mandapam,built by the Maruthu Pandyas in 1975.On the left pillar,we see the figure of Elder Marudhu.
