Uyyakondan Thirumalai Temple, Hindu temple on Uyyakondan riverbank, Tiruchirappalli district, India
The temple spans four acres on a 30-meter hillock, featuring multiple shrines enclosed by granite walls and dedicated to Shiva as Uyyakondan through a lingam.
Queen Sembiyan Mahadevi of the Chola dynasty made significant contributions to the temple's development around 950 CE, as evidenced by inscriptions throughout the complex.
The temple receives recognition as a Paadal Petra Sthalam, mentioned in the seventh-century Tamil Saiva canonical text Tevaram written by Nayanar saints.
Daily rituals occur four times between 6:00 AM and 8:30 PM, with ceremonies including Kalasanthi, Ucchikalam, Saayarakshai, and Ardhajaamam for deity worship.
The temple architecture allows sunlight to illuminate the statues of Uyyakondar and Balambikai specifically on the first day of the Thai month.
