Mudikondan Kothandaramar Temple, Hindu temple in Tiruvarur district, Tamil Nadu, India
The Mudikondan Kothandaramar Temple is a sanctuary with elaborate stone carvings and traditional Dravidian architecture dedicated to Lord Rama. The main sanctum houses the central deity, while the overall structure displays the hallmarks of classical South Indian temple design.
This sanctuary was founded over 1000 years ago and is recognized as one of the 108 Abhimana Kshethrams in the Vaishnava tradition, as documented by Maharishi Valmiki. Its long history ties it to foundational texts of Hindu belief.
The temple is maintained according to Vaiksana Agama traditions, with daily rituals, food offerings, and lamp ceremonies shaping religious life here. These practices show how the community expresses devotion and brings the space to life each day.
The temple sits roughly 20 km from Mayiladuthurai and 15 km from Thiruvarur, accessible on foot from the nearest transport hub. Visitors should dress modestly and respect local customs when entering the grounds.
This sanctuary has an unusual orientation compared to most Rama temples, facing east to give Sage Bharadhwaja an unobstructed view during worship. This atypical alignment reflects a specific architectural and spiritual consideration.
