It is located opposite to the Aiyannar Temple, and is about 1 km from Sri Prathiyangara Devi Temple. It is at a distance of about 8.5 km from Pondicherry Railway Station and 8 km from the bus stand. One can easily reach the temple by reaching the Pondy-Tindivanam Highway and taking a right turn before the Toll Gate to Sangamitra Convention Centre. One can then proceed westward for about half a kilometre before alighting at the temple.
