President Ramnath Kovind offered prayers at the famous shrine of Lord Saneeswarar in Tirunallar near here on Tuesday.
The president accompanied by his wife was accorded ceremonial temple honours on his arrival.
They worshipped at all the 'sannadhis' (sub-temples) in the temple.
It may be noted that Tirunallar is the only place in South India to have a separate 'sannadhi' for Lord Saneeswara in a benign pose.
Earlier, the president arrived from Puducherry by a helicopter.
He was received by Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi, Chief Minister Narayanaswamy, Ministers and top government officials at the helipad.
