Mahalingeswarar Temple, Thiruvidaimarudur, Hindu temple in Thiruvidaimarudur, India
The Mahalingeswarar Temple features five separate shrines dedicated to Shiva, positioned at cardinal points around a central sanctum within a rectangular complex.
Built over 1200 years ago, this temple received praise through devotional hymns from Tamil poets Sambandar, Appar, and Sundarar during the Chola period.
The temple holds regular ceremonies where devotees recite Thevaram verses in the Megharaga Kurinji musical scale to invoke rainfall during drought periods.
The temple lies 9 kilometers from Kumbakonam along the Cauvery River, with regular bus services connecting to major cities in Tamil Nadu.
The temple contains one of only two shrines in India dedicated to Goddess Mookambika, with the other located in Kollur, Karnataka.
