Srivilliputhur Andal Temple, Hindu temple in Srivilliputhur, India

The temple features two tall gopurams with intricate carvings depicting scenes from Hindu mythology and houses shrines dedicated to Goddess Andal and Lord Vishnu.

Built during the 8th century, the temple gained prominence as the birthplace of Andal, one of the twelve Alwars who composed devotional poems in Tamil.

The temple celebrates Panguni Uthiram festival in March, during which thousands of devotees gather to witness the ceremonial marriage of Andal to Lord Vishnu.

The temple opens daily from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with special ceremonies conducted at sunrise and sunset, requiring visitors to remove their shoes before entering.

The temple's 196-foot eastern tower serves as the official emblem of Tamil Nadu government and appears on all official state documentation.
