Akhilandeswari Amman sametha Alavandeswarar temple at Melalavandacheri near Needamangalam, is undergoing renovation work in preparation for kumbhabhishekam. The temple has been left uncared for several decades, and it is only now that some locals with help from several sources, have commenced work to renovate the temple. (Photographs and contribution details below.)

I visited this temple recently (February 2023) and here are some photographs from that visit. Needless to say, the temple is in urgent need of funds.

Here are some more pictures from other sources.
