Pushpavaneswarar temple, Hindu temple in Thirupuvanam, India
The Pushpavaneswarar temple features a five-tiered entrance tower and multiple shrines decorated with detailed stone carvings displaying Dravidian architectural elements.
The stone structure of the temple was constructed during the reign of Chola king Aditya I between 870 and 907 CE with subsequent additions.
Four daily rituals take place at the temple, where devotees offer prayers to Lord Shiva and his consort Parvathi, known here as Soundaranayagi.
The temple opens from 6:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM, located 18 kilometers from Madurai on the road to Rameswaram.
A devotee named Ponnaiyal created a golden idol of Lord Shiva after receiving help from a metallurgist who, according to legend, was Shiva himself.
