- Pottalpudur Dargah — A 17th-century Sufi dargah built in 1674 over the tomb of the Islamic scholar Mohideen Abdul Qadir Jilani, whose followers are said to have settled in Pottalpudur after travelling from Persia. Its architecture blends Islamic and Dravidian styles, with a carved entrance and calligraphy that give it an almost temple-like appearance. Revered as a symbol of religious harmony, it draws Hindu, Christian and Muslim devotees, especially during its annual kandoori festival.
