Swetharanyeswarar Temple, Hindu temple in Nagapattinam district, India.

The Swetharanyeswarar Temple exhibits Dravidian architecture with three sacred groves, three ritual tanks, and towers adorned with intricate stone carvings.

The temple received recognition through devotional hymns composed by Tamil saints Sambandar, Appar, and Sundarar during the 7th and 8th centuries.

Religious ceremonies take place at the temple's three sacred water tanks named Surya, Chandra, and Agni, where devotees perform ritual bathing.

The temple remains open from 6:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM, with special ceremonies conducted every Wednesday for Mercury.

According to temple traditions, the goddess Brahmavidyambikai transmitted sacred knowledge to Lord Brahma at this location, leading to her distinctive name.
