Apparswami Temple, Hindu temple in Royapettah, India
The temple complex contains multiple shrines, including those dedicated to Viswanathar, Visalakshi, and various Koshta idols along the sanctum walls.
The temple originated in 1855 when Sri Chidambara Swamigal constructed a memorial mandapam to honor the 19th-century Saivite saint Apparswami.
The temple maintains Tamil spiritual traditions through regular ceremonies, including Guru Puja celebrations during the Tamil month of Aani.
Visitors can access the temple between 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:30 PM to 9:00 PM, with special services available for removing effects of evil eye.
The main shrine contains a Shivalinga installed directly above the tomb where Apparswami entered Jeeva Samadhi in 1851.
