Alagar Kovil temple is an ancient temple just a few kilometres from Madurai. There are historical scriptures that have put this area under religious context for centuries. Scriptures provide information about a refuge for monks following Jainism and about a holy cow collapsing right where the temple now stands. The temple itself is made in the Dravidian style and has beautiful carvings on its facade. There is a holy spring near the temple. The golden canopy on the dome of the temple was made during the 13th century by king Sundara Pandian. With such immense history and lore behind it, this temple is a must visit.
