Tiruvalithayam, Hindu temple in Natham village, Tamil Nadu

The temple houses a primary shrine dedicated to Lord Valliiswarar and a sanctum for Goddess Anandavalli, surrounded by traditional Tamil architecture.

The temple gained prominence when Guru Bhagwan performed penance at this location after receiving instructions from Lord Shiva to overcome a family curse.

Devotees conduct specific rituals every Thursday, performing abhishekam ceremonies and offering yellow robes with jasmine flowers to remove spiritual obstacles.

The temple operates daily with two sessions, from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, accessible via bus from Chennai's Koyambedu station.

The temple features a Ganesha idol without the characteristic belly, considered an uncommon representation in Hindu temple architecture.
