Ponsei Natrunaiyappar Temple, Hindu temple in Nagapattinam district, India

The temple stands near the Cauvery River, where the water flow changes direction from east to west at a location called Basvamangini.

The temple gained prominence during the Chola dynasty in the 10th century, when Parantaka Chola I contributed to its construction and development.

This sacred site forms part of a network of 63 Shiva temples extending from Chidambaram to the Mahendra Mountain in Tamil Nadu.

The temple opens twice daily, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with special ceremonies during new moon and full moon periods.

The temple sanctuary features dimensions that allow elephants to enter and participate in religious ceremonies within the main worship area.
