Sivayoginathar Temple, Hindu temple with Dravidian architecture in Thiruvisanallur, India
The Sivayoginathar Temple contains three precincts, a five-tiered gateway tower, and numerous shrines dedicated to different Hindu deities within its complex.
The temple structure dates to the 9th century during the Chola dynasty, with 97 inscriptions from rulers including Parantaka I and Rajaraja Chola I.
The temple honors Shiva as Sivayoginathar and Parvati as Mangala Nayagi, receiving mentions in the 7th-century Tamil Saiva canonical work Tevaram.
The temple conducts six daily rituals from morning to evening, with major celebrations during the Aippasi Brahmostavam festival in September-October.
The temple features a 1,400-year-old sun clock carved from granite on its 35-foot inner wall, using only sunlight to indicate time through a brass needle.
