Thirumakaraleeswarar Temple, Hindu temple in Magaral, Kanchipuram district, India.
The Thirumakaraleeswarar Temple features a five-tier gateway tower facing the central shrine, which contains a lingam representation of Lord Shiva.
The temple foundations were established during the Chola Dynasty, with the current stone structure completed under the Vijayanagar Empire in the 16th century.
The temple conducts six daily rituals from sunrise to evening, with the main Brahmotsavam festival occurring during February and March each year.
The temple complex spans two acres and includes multiple shrines, corridors, and a sacred water tank called Indra Theertha near the main entrance.
According to local tradition, Indra presented his white elephant at this location, which influenced the myths surrounding the temple's establishment.
