Edaganathar temple, Hindu temple in Thiruvedagam, Tamil Nadu, India
The Edaganathar Temple complex extends across five acres, featuring two gateway towers that lead to the shrines of Edaganathar and Elavrkuzhali.
The temple structure originated during the Pandyan Empire rule and underwent substantial modifications during the Nayak dynasty in the sixteenth century.
The temple conducts six daily ceremonies where priests perform specific rituals including sacred baths, decorations, food offerings, and traditional lamp ceremonies.
Visitors can reach the temple through regular bus services from Madurai, with Cholavandan serving as the nearest railway station for long-distance travelers.
The temple walls display stone carvings that document a historical debate between Sambandar and Jain scholars, which resulted in the area name Tiruvedakam.
