Tiruvetkalam Pasupatheswarar Temple, Hindu temple in Chidambaram, India
The Tiruvetkalam Pasupatheswarar Temple spans across two acres with rectangular walls and contains a three-tiered eastern tower housing multiple shrines.
The temple dates back over 2000 years and received substantial renovations in 1914 when A.Pethaperumal Chettiar replaced the original brick structure with stone construction.
Three prominent Saivite saints composed Thevaram hymns about this temple, with Saint Sambandar specifically mentioning it as Nannagar in his devotional verses.
The temple maintains regular worship hours from 6:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, offering three daily pujas within the Annamalai University complex.
The temple features four pillars in the Ambica shrine depicting scenes of Arjuna receiving the Pasupatha missile from Lord Shiva after their legendary confrontation.
