Located 1km south of the Railway Station on the Northern banks of River Amaravathi off the Mettu Street is an ancient Abhaya Pradhana Ranganatha Temple in Karur, one that was constructed during the rule of Muchukunda Chakravarthy dating back several centuries.

Muchukunda also played a role in the construction of Kalyana Venkatramana Swamy temple in Thanthoni Malai on the outskirts of the city.

Providing darshan in a Karkodaga Anantha Sayana posture, Lord Ranganatha is believed to have promised abhayam to Markandeya Rishi protecting him from evil forces. Lord Ranganatha is seen in a beautiful Posture resting himself on the five hooded Serpent with his right hand placed on the Rishi’s head in a sign of blessing him and promising protection.

Belief is that Lord Ranganatha will provide abhayam to devotees who offer sincere prayers at this temple.
