It is the quiet heaven in the middle of the bustle hardly known by anyone but the spiritual. This temple was established by the migrant traders in the city about 50 years ago. It falls on the path the ascetics have to travel from Kanyakumari/Rameshwaram to Haridwar. These traveling mendicants are provided food and shelter here. Often, one can witness religious debates and discussions amongst these travelers here. It also has a beautiful external courtyard and an internal courtyard. Tiled mosaic work lace the entrance room. Frescoes decorate the walls. Monkeys and cats wander about peacefully.

This is park surrounds a natural pond. Boating is a main attraction here, but people do come here for a pleasant walk or feeding the fishes (puffed rice is available just outside the gate). There is also a play area for children.
