Atulya Nadheswarar Temple, Hindu temple in Viluppuram district, India.

The Atulya Nadheswarar Temple stands on a granite hill covering two acres and features a seven-tier gateway tower called gopuram.

The temple complex originated during the Pallava dynasty, with subsequent expansions by the Cholas and final construction during the Vijayanagara Empire in the 16th century.

The temple houses the deity Shiva as Atulya Nadheswarar in lingam form, alongside his consort Parvati depicted as Azhagiya Ponnazhagi.

The temple conducts four daily rituals from 7:00 AM to 8:30 PM and remains accessible via the Tirukoilur-Viluppuram highway, 2 kilometers from Tirukoilur.

Three rock-cut caves from the 10th-century Pallava period exist within the temple complex, preserving ancient architectural elements.
