An illuminated white signboard hangs above with Tamil text naming the temple as Arulmigu Nellaiyappar and Arulthagu Kanthimathi Ambal, Thirukoyil, Thirunelveli Nagar. A smaller red sign below reads Sri Nellaiyappar in Tamil. Market stalls and shop awnings line both sides of the passage, and a row of small bulbs lights the far entrance. No people are visible in the frame.
