Thiruvalangadu, Ancient temple village in Tamil Nadu, India

The Sri Vadaranyeswarar Temple stands as the central structure in Thiruvalangadu, featuring traditional architecture with a large water tank and banyan tree.

The main temple construction dates to the 12th century CE during the Chola dynasty, with stone inscriptions discovered from the 5th century CE.

The temple represents one of the five cosmic dance halls of Lord Shiva, known as Ratna Sabai, where the deity Vadaranyeswarar resides with Vandarkuzhali Amman.

Thiruvalangadu railway station on the Chennai-Arakkonam route provides direct access, while the temple lies 5 kilometers from the station via NH205.

According to regional narratives, jewels from Lord Shiva's anklets dispersed across five locations during a cosmic dance, with Thiruvalangadu marking one site.
