Kambatta Viswanathar Temple, Kumbakonam, Ancient Shiva temple in Kumbakonam, India
The temple features two sacred water sources called Balavitheertham and Dhoomakedhu Theertham, with jasmine trees adorning the temple grounds.
During the Chola dynasty, the temple area housed a mint for producing gold and silver coins, leading to its name Kambattam.
The temple participates in the Mahamaham festival, held every twelve years alongside eleven other Shiva temples in Kumbakonam.
The temple opens daily from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM, with religious ceremonies performed twice each day.
The temple grounds were originally a dense forest called Malathivanam where sage Dhoomakedhu discovered a Shiva Linga and temple tank.
