Sayavaneswarar Temple, Hindu temple in Thirusaikkadu, Tamil Nadu, India
The Sayavaneswarar Temple stands along the banks of the Kaveri River, with its main shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva and goddess Kuyilinum Nanmozhiammai.
The temple structure, constructed during the Medieval Chola period between 1000 and 2000 years ago, represents traditional Dravidian architectural elements.
The temple maintains its position as one of the Paadal Petra Sthalams, where Tamil saints Sambandar and Appar composed devotional hymns in praise of the deities.
Visitors can access the temple through regular bus services from Sirkali railway station, with opening hours from 7 AM to noon and 4 PM to 7:30 PM.
The temple features Lord Murugan holding a bow and arrow instead of his traditional spear, which he received from Shiva for the battle against Soorapadman.
