Sivapuri Uchinathar Temple, Hindu temple in Sivapuri, Tamil Nadu, India

The temple features a three-tiered eastern gopuram, rectangular walls, and a central sanctum containing a lingam representing Lord Shiva.

The temple received recognition in the Tevaram, a 7th-century Tamil Saiva canonical work written by Tamil saint poets called nayanmars.

Three daily rituals take place from morning to evening, including abhisheka, alangaram, naivethanam, and deepa aradanai ceremonies.

The temple stands one kilometer from Sivapuri town center and maintains regular hours from 6:00 AM to 8:30 PM for devotee visits.

According to regional accounts, Lord Shiva appeared as a temple priest to feed a hungry wedding party, leading to the name Uchinathar.
