Virinchipuram is a small village situated in the Anaicut taluk in the Vellore district. Virinchipuram houses the most architecturally done Margabandeswarar Temple. This 1300-year-old temple is famous for its imposing Rajagopuram and stone carvings.
It is richly adorned with exclusive inscriptions and beautiful pillars. This temple is located 15 km from the city and has an underground route to the Jalakandeswarar Temple in Vellore. The presiding goddess of the temple is Maragadambal. Both the god and goddess are facing the east and both have separate flagstaff. The tank with the lion-faced sculpture in the entrance, popularly known as the Simha Tank, is located inside the temple.
There is a beautiful tower in the east direction of the temple. The two kalyana mandaps or halls placed on either side of the outer corridor are of great importance to the temple. Both of them have been artistically constructed with pillars and sculptures.
