Thayumanaswami Temple, Rockfort, Hindu temple in Tiruchirappalli, India
The temple sits atop an 83-meter-high rock formation, featuring stone-carved pillars and multiple shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and other deities.
The temple structure dates back to the Chola dynasty period, with significant additions made during the Nayak reign in the 17th century.
The annual Mahashivaratri festival brings thousands of devotees who climb 437 steps to perform rituals and prayers at this sacred site.
Visitors can access the temple daily from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with scheduled breaks during afternoon hours for religious ceremonies.
The temple complex includes natural cave formations where ancient yogis meditated, with inscriptions still visible on the rock walls.
