Veezhinathar Kovil, Thiruveezhimizhalai, Hindu temple in Tiruvarur district, India
The Veezhinathar Kovil features stone sculptures and gateway towers following traditional Dravidian temple architecture with a central mandapa resembling a wedding hall.
Dating back more than 1000 years, the temple gained prominence during the rise of Shaivism in South India and became the 61st Padal Petra Kovil in Chola Nadu.
The temple holds regular ceremonies where devotees offer prayers to Lord Shiva and Goddess Sundarakushanmbikai, maintaining centuries-old religious traditions of Tamil Nadu.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking the Thiruvarur road from Kumbakonam to Natchiyar Koil, then following Poonthotam-Natchiyar Koil Road to Thenkarai.
According to local records, saints Gnanasambandar and Tirunavukkarasar received daily gold coins from Lord Shiva during a famine to feed their communities.
