Vaithamanidhi Perumal Temple, Hindu temple in Thirukkolur, Tamil Nadu
Vaithamanidhi Perumal Temple stands near Thamiraparani river with granite walls, three-tiered gateway tower, and two enclosed precincts following Dravidian architectural patterns.
The temple structure underwent renovations during Rani Mangammal's reign from 1689 to 1704, enhancing its position as one of the nine Nava Tirupathi temples.
The temple celebrates six daily rituals and three annual festivals, including a 20-day celebration during Margazhi month combining Pagal Pathu and Ra Pathu.
Visitors can access the temple from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with nearby accommodations available in Tuticorin and transportation from Tirunelveli.
The main deity holds a wooden measuring vessel called Marakkal as a pillow and gazes at his left palm, symbolizing the measurement of devotees' good deeds.
