Thanumalayan Temple, Hindu temple in Suchindram, Tamil Nadu, India
The temple complex extends across two acres of land and features two prominent towers, with the eastern gopuram reaching 44 meters in height.
The stone structure originated in the 9th century during the Chola dynasty, with subsequent additions by Thirumalai Nayak and Travancore Maharajas.
The temple honors the three principal deities of Hinduism: Shiva represented as Sthanu, Vishnu as Mal, and Brahma as Ayan in a single shrine.
The temple remains open from 4:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM, with special ceremonies conducted during the annual car festival in December.
Four musical pillars carved from a single stone produce different musical notes when struck, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship in ancient Indian architecture.
