Nageswaraswamy Temple, Kumbakonam, Hindu temple in Kumbakonam, India.
The temple features a five-tiered Rajagopuram tower facing south with stone wheels on both sides and a sacred Nelli tree near the entrance.
King Aditya I established this temple in 907 CE, marking the beginning of architectural developments during the Chola dynasty in Tamil Nadu.
The temple participates in the Kumbakonam Saptha Sthana festivals, connecting seven temples through ceremonial celebrations throughout the calendar year.
Visitors can access the temple grounds daily, with major ceremonies occurring during Vaikasi Visakam, Kartikai, Thai Poosam, and Panguni Uthiram festivals.
During April 11-13 each year, sunlight falls directly on the main deity through specific architectural alignments, creating a natural illumination phenomenon.
