Sivagurunathaswamy Temple, Hindu temple in Sivapuram, India

The Sivagurunathaswamy Temple features two gateway towers, with the eastern gopuram rising five levels to a height of 72 feet.

The temple structure dates from the Chola dynasty with modifications during the Nayak period of the 16th century, featuring inscriptions from both eras.

The temple holds recognition as one of the 276 sacred places mentioned in Tevaram, a collection of Tamil devotional poems dedicated to Shiva.

The temple opens daily from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM, with priests available for ritual guidance and offerings.

Devotees perform Angapradakshanam by rolling their bodies around the temple premises, a practice typically associated with Vishnu temples.
