Ardhanareeswarar Temple, Hindu temple on hilltop in Tiruchengode, India
The Ardhanareeswarar Temple stands 650 feet high on a sacred hill, requiring visitors to climb 1156 steps to reach its main shrine point.
The temple received multiple renovations through different periods, including the reigns of Chola, Pandya, and Nayak dynasties, plus contributions from British officer Davis.
The temple celebrates a 15-day chariot festival in the Tamil month of Vaikasi, featuring four separate chariots carrying deities through the streets.
The temple opens daily from 5:30 AM to 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM, with the Emerald Lingam visible only during early mornings of Margali month.
This temple houses a six-foot-tall deity representing Shiva in a half-male, half-female form, displaying the complete unity of masculine and feminine energies.
