Neyyadiappar Temple, Hindu temple in Thillaisthanam, India

The Neyyadiappar Temple spans two acres and features a 75-foot tower facing east, with sub-shrines dedicated to Ganesha and Murugan at its entrance point.

The temple construction dates to the 9th century during Aditya Chola I reign, with inscriptions revealing contributions from Pandyas, Pallavas, and Nayaks of Thanjavur.

The temple belongs to the Paadal Petra Sthalam group and ranks seventh among the Tiruvaiyaru Saptastana Temples located north of river Kaveri.

Located 21 kilometers from Kumbakonam on the Kumbakonam-Tiruvaiyaru-Tanjore road, visitors access the temple through regular town bus services from major cities.

According to local narratives, the temple originated when a divine cow produced milk that transformed into ghee, leading to the discovery of a Shivalinga.
