Abimukeswarar Temple, Kumbakonam, Hindu temple in Kumbakonam, India.

The Abimukeswarar Temple features five main courtyards, multiple gateway towers, and architectural elements following traditional Tamil design patterns.

The temple contains inscriptions from the Chola dynasty period, marking significant contributions and indicating its establishment between 500 and 1000 years ago.

The temple maintains six daily ritual ceremonies and serves as a central location for religious gatherings, festivals, and community celebrations throughout the year.

Located on the eastern bank of the Mahamaham tank, the temple welcomes visitors who can observe the sacred gooseberry tree and the notably tall Sani Bhagwan statue.
