Thirumarperu, Hindu temple in Tirumalpur, India
The temple complex features a five-tiered Rajagopuram entrance tower and contains multiple shrines dedicated to different Hindu deities within its granite walls.
The temple's construction dates to 985 CE during Rajaraja Chola I's reign, with archaeological evidence including Sundarachola Stone Scriptures found at the site.
Lord Manikandeswarar, a form of Shiva, stands as the presiding deity alongside his consort Karunai Nayaki, receiving daily worship through six ceremonial rituals.
The temple welcomes visitors from 6:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM, with major celebrations occurring during the ten-day festival in Tamil month Maasi.
The temple houses an unusual standing Nandi statue with a monkey face, resulting from a mythological encounter with Ravana during ancient times.
