Thiruppunavayil, Hindu temple in Thiruppunavasal, India.

The temple contains a substantial Shiva lingam measuring 9 feet in height, positioned on a base with a circumference of 82.5 feet.

The temple structure displays architectural elements from both Pandyan and Cholan periods, featuring a 65-foot rajagopuram at its entrance.

The temple holds the status of Thevara Paadal Petra Sthalam, with sacred hymns composed by three saints: Sambandar, Appar, and Sundarar.

Devotees perform rituals using a specialized ladder to conduct ceremonies around the Shiva lingam, which requires a 90-foot cloth for decoration.

The temple houses fourteen Shivalingams representing all the shrines of the Pandya Kingdom mentioned in the songs of Nayanmars.
