Thenkurangaduthurai Temple, Hindu temple in Aduthurai, India.

The Thenkurangaduthurai Temple features two gateway towers, with the western tower reaching a height of 72 feet above the temple grounds.

Originally constructed during the Chola period, the temple contains fifteen inscriptions from ancient rulers including Parantaka II and Rajaraja I.

The temple honors Shiva as Apathsaheswarar through the lingam form, while Parvati appears as Prabhavalli in accordance with Hindu traditions.

Visitors can attend six daily rituals from early morning until evening, with the temple maintaining regular hours from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

The temple name derives from an episode where Sugriva sought protection from his brother Vaali, leading to Shiva's title as protector from danger.
