Thiru Aappanoor, Hindu temple in Sellur, Madurai, India
Thiru Aappanoor temple features a main shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva facing east, with a Subrahmanyar shrine positioned between two principal deities.
The temple construction started during the Pandya dynasty reign and received subsequent expansions from the Nayak kings who added Dravidian architectural elements.
The temple stands as one of the 276 Paadal Petra Sthalams, with Tamil saint Sambandar dedicating Tevaram Pathigam verses to this sacred site.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking town buses from Madurai Periyar bus station to the Simmakkal stop, located across the river.
A sacred fig tree within the temple grounds contains a Vinayagar statue, while a pillar displays an image of Hanuman.
