Karchapeswarar Temple, 7th-century Hindu temple in Kanchipuram, India.
The temple stands on 5 acres of land with a main sanctum, temple tank, inner gopura, and multiple shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva.
The Pallava dynasty constructed the temple in the 7th century, followed by renovations from Rajaraja Chola and Vijayanagara kings through centuries.
Devotees perform daily rituals and worship Lord Shiva in the form of Karchapeswarar, following ancient Tamil Saivite traditions.
The temple welcomes visitors every day from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with no entrance fee required.
Ancient verses from Surya Satakam by Mayura Kavi remain carved on stone steps leading to the Ishta Siddheeswara Theertham temple tank.
