If you are touring around Kanyakumari district, Mathur Aqueduct or Mathur Hanging Trough is a must see place.. such a breath taking structure built in 60s for irrigation purposes. With a height from the bridge, you can experience a wonderful scenery of lush forest and river on both sides. When you get down on the other side of the bridge, you can even take a small dip in the river during seasons, since the water is clean too.. it is a wonderful experience to witness the river, the trees surrounding it and also the magnificent bridge...

This temple is located at a distance of around 45 - 50 KMS from Kanyakumari. The temple complex is very large and has many rare sculpture. Adhikesava perumal is the name of the main Deity here. The temple was built in Dravidian style architecture.. The presiding deity is - Adhikesava perumal (reclining posture ) Ambal - Goddess Maragathavalli Nachiar. A shivalingam is also seen inside the main sannithi near Lord Vishnu. Now kumbhabishekam works are going on and we can see Poojas done to the Balalayam perumal. Yet, you can have Darshan of the moolavar from a distance..
