Sikkal Singaravelan Temple, Hindu temple in Sikkal, Tamil Nadu, India

A seven-tiered temple complex with a rajagopuram rises 80 feet high, housing shrines for Lord Shiva, Lord Murugan, and Lord Vishnu within the same premises.

The temple dates back to the reign of Muchukunda Cholan, featuring inscriptions from the Chola dynasty and architectural elements from multiple historical periods.

During the Tamil month of Arpasi, the temple hosts the Skanda Shashti festival, marking Lord Singaravelavar receiving the sacred Vel spear.

Located 5 kilometers from Nagapattinam on the Tiruvarur route, the temple opens daily from 5:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 4:30 PM to 9:00 PM.

Three sacred water tanks named Ksheera, Gaya, and Lakshmi surround the temple, with the Ksheera tank containing milk offered by the divine cow Kamadhenu.
