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.
