Adi Annamalaiyar Temple, Adi Annamalai, Hindu temple in Tiruvannamalai district, Tamil Nadu, India
The temple features intricate stone carvings on pillars, multiple mandapas, and a sanctum sanctorum housing Lord Shiva as the presiding deity.
The temple predates the larger Arunachaleshwar temple in Tiruvannamalai and contains inscriptions from both Chola and Vijayanagara Empire periods.
Devotees perform Girivalam, walking around Annamalai Hill, while the temple conducts daily rituals including abhishekam and special poojas throughout the year.
The temple remains open from sunrise to sunset, requires visitors to remove footwear before entering, and maintains strict dress codes for all attendees.
The temple houses a self-manifested lingam similar to the one in Arunachaleshwar temple and stands as part of the Vaippu Sthalams sacred sites.
