Mallinathaswamy Jain Temple

A 12th-century Jain temple in Mannargudi dedicated to Mallinathar, with idols of several Jain goddesses.

Dating to the 12th century, the Mallinathaswamy Jain Temple is dedicated to the Jain Tirthankara Mallinathar and stands as a quiet reminder of Mannargudi's religious diversity beyond its famous Vaishnavite shrine. The temple houses idols of Dharma Devi, Saraswathi Devi, Padmavathy Devi, and Jawalamalini Amman alongside the main deity. Its layout includes a three-tiered gopuram and a mahamandapam built in the Maratha style, making it a modest but historically distinct stop for visitors.
