 | | The place is named after Umayal Achi, the mother of Muthaiah Chettiar, who built the temple in his native place, the small village of Ramachandrapuram, near Thirumeyyam, about 18 kilometres from Pudukottai. |
 | | Their house in Ramachandrapuram, which is part of Kadiyapatti, is a fine example of Nagarathar architecture. |
 | | Though small in size compared to many Chettinadu houses, it is unique for its beautiful paintings on the ceiling of the large living room, which remain with their original glow even after nearly 80 years. |
