Garbharakshambigai temple, Hindu temple in Thirukarukavoor, India

The temple features a five-tiered Rajagopuram gateway tower and stands on the southern bank of the Vettar River, 20 kilometers from Kumbakonam.

Built during the Chola period in the 7th century, the temple contains 31 inscriptions documenting royal grants and donations for maintaining religious activities.

Devotees gather at this temple to seek blessings from Goddess Garbharakshambigai, who protects pregnancies and children according to Hindu traditions.

The temple remains open from 5:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM, with special rituals performed using 1008 conches during the Tamil month of Karthikai.

The temple maintains sacred water bodies including Sheerakundam and Brahma Theertham, where ceremonial activities occur during religious celebrations.
