Thiruppunavayil, Hindu temple in Tamil Nadu, India
The temple features a large Shivalingam installed on an Avudayar measuring 82.5 feet in circumference, with two separate entrances for Shiva and Ambal shrines.
Dating back to Pandyan and Cholan dynasties, the temple spans three acres and includes a 65-foot rajagopuram, reflecting traditional South Indian architectural elements.
During the annual Bhrammotsavam festival in the Tamil month of Vaikasi, devotees present a 90-foot cloth for adorning the Lingam and perform special rituals.
The temple lies 38 kilometers from Arantangi to Meemisal, followed by a 12-kilometer journey to the final destination near the seashore of Thiruppunavasal.
The temple contains 14 Shivalingams and features Mahavishnu in place of the traditional Lingodbhavar, making it distinct among Hindu temples in Tamil Nadu.
