Prananadeswarar Temple, Hindu temple in Maruthuvakudi, India

The Prananadeswarar Temple features five-tiered gateway towers, decorated pillars, and holy water tanks following traditional Dravidian architectural principles.

The temple structure dates to the 9th century during the Chola dynasty, with later additions by the Thanjavur Nayaks in the 16th century.

The temple performs six daily rituals and hosts five annual festivals, including the major celebration of Panguni Brahmostavam throughout the year.

The temple stands 16 kilometers from Kumbakonam and 2 kilometers from Aduthurai, with regular public transportation connections available for visitors.

This temple remains among the few South Indian religious sites where Kaali Attam, a traditional dance depicting the deity Kali, continues.
