This is the only temple in the city built in South Indian style and located on the banks of the Triveni Sangam. It was built by Shri Kanchi Kamkoti Peeth and is a modern temple, four storey high and reflecting Dravidian style of architecture. It has a height of 131 feet and the temple stands on 16 strong pillars. The construction of the temple started in 1970 but it took 16 years to complete it. At the entrance are the statues of Shankaracharya and Mandan Mishra. On each floor of the temple you can see the shrines of different Gods and Goddesses and on the walls of the temple there are beautiful paintings depicting scenes from the epic Ramayana.
