At Helensburgh there are two temple complexes side by side, the Siva temple complex and the Venkateswara temple complex.
In the former complex there are shrines for Siva, Parvati, Murukan, Valli, Teyvayanai, Durukambigai, Dakshinamurti and Navakkiraka deities and in the latter within the main temple of Venkateswara there are shrines for Mahālakshmi, Andal, Rama, Sita, Lakshman and Anjaneya. It is rare and unique to have Saiva and Vaishnava temples side by side.
