Sri Vadaranyeswarar Temple, Hindu temple in Thiruvalangadu, India

The Sri Vadaranyeswarar Temple features three corridors and a five-tier main tower situated in the Tiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu.

Built during the 12th century by the Chola dynasty, the temple contains inscriptions from King Paranthaka Chola-I through the Vijayanagara period.

The temple stands as one of 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams, sacred places dedicated to Lord Shiva mentioned in ancient Tamil religious texts.

Visitors can reach the temple via Thiruvalangadu railway station, located 4 kilometers away, or through regular bus services from Chennai.

A dance competition between Lord Shiva and Goddess Kali occurred in the temple's Natarajar mandapam, where Shiva performed Oordhuva Thandavam.
