A sacred place to both Hindus and Sinhala Buddhists, Tiruchendur Murugan Alayam Temple offers a better understanding of the area's culture. Constructed in 1984 as a stopping point on the Pada Yatra pilgrimage to Kataragama, the temple's Lord Murugan image is said to have opened its own eyes before the painter could do the job. It has a colourful leaning tower or gopuram overlooking Kallady's Third Cross Street.
