Mel Sithamur Jain Math, Jain temple in Villupuram district, Tamil Nadu, India
The temple complex consists of two main structures dedicated to Parshvanatha and Malinatha, with a seven-story tower reaching 70 feet in height.
Following its relocation from Kanchipuram, Venkatappa Nayak authorized the construction of the temple complex between 1570 and 1600 at Mel Sithamur.
The temple serves as the residence of Bhattaraka Laxmisena, the religious leader of Tamil Jains, guiding spiritual practices and community gatherings.
Located 20 kilometers from Tindivanam and 10 kilometers east of Gingee, the temple operates daily from 5:30 AM to 8:30 PM for visitors.
The Parshvanatha temple houses a 14-foot black statue in Padmasan posture, while its walls display detailed carvings of various tirthankaras.
