Someswara Swamy Temple, Appikonda, Hindu temple in Appikonda, India.

Someswara Swamy Temple is a Hindu temple located in Appikonda featuring traditional South Indian architectural design. The structure displays intricate stone carvings and sculptural details depicting religious deities throughout its walls and chambers.

This temple was constructed around 1070 AD during the reign of King Kulottunga I of the Chola dynasty. The structure reflects the architectural and artistic methods that were practiced during that medieval period.

This place holds deep spiritual meaning for devotees who visit regularly to pray and make offerings. Families often come together during festival times, creating a sense of shared reverence and community worship.

The temple opens in early morning and evening hours for worship and visitors should remove their footwear before entering the main sanctuary. Designated spaces are available for storing shoes and personal items during your visit.

The site holds protected monument status under the Archaeological Survey of India, meaning its original structural elements are carefully maintained and cannot be altered. This special designation ensures that the temple remains largely unchanged from its historical form.
