Pasupateeswarar Temple, Karur, Hindu temple in Karur, India

The Pasupateeswarar Temple features Dravidian architectural elements with granite walls, spacious courtyards, and intricate stone carvings throughout its structure.

The temple dates back to the Chera dynasty period when Karur served as their capital, with later renovations by the Natukkottai Chettiars merchant community.

Daily rituals and ceremonies take place at the temple, where devotees offer milk and perform prayers to Lord Pasupateeswarar, represented by a stone Lingam.

The temple opens from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM, with special ceremonies conducted during the Tamil month of Maasi.

During five consecutive days in the Tamil month of Maasi, sunlight directly falls on the main deity through a specific architectural arrangement.
