Rahu Stalam, Hindu temple in Tirunageswaram, India.
Sri Naganathaswamy Temple features four gateway towers and numerous shrines dedicated to Naganathar, Rahu, and Piraisoodi Amman within its extensive grounds.
The temple construction began in the 10th century under Aditya Chola I, incorporating architectural elements that reflect the development of South Indian temple design.
Religious ceremonies occur six times daily, from morning to night, following traditional Hindu customs with priests performing specific rituals at designated times.
The temple stands 7 kilometers from Kumbakonam along Karaikkal Road, with Tiruchirappalli Airport located 147 kilometers away and Mayiladuthurai Railway Station 27 kilometers away.
During the milk ablution ceremony at Rahu shrine, devotees observe the liquid changing to a blue color while flowing over the deity.
