Sri Sivalokanathar Temple, Tirupunkur, Hindu temple in Tirupunkur, Tamil Nadu, India

The stone temple exhibits Dravidian architecture with carved pillars, a central shrine housing Sivalokanathar, and multiple sanctuaries for deities including Soundaryanayaki.

Records indicate that Rajaraja Chola granted twelve velis of land to this temple during a drought after special ceremonies conducted by poet Sundarar.

The temple holds significance in Hindu traditions through sacred texts called Thevaram, composed by three saints who praised Lord Shiva at this location.

The temple operates daily with two sessions, from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM, accessible by regular bus services from Mayiladuthurai.

The Nandi statue in this temple shifted position by divine command to allow devotee Nandanar to view the main shrine from outside.
