Vaseeswarar Temple, Ancient Hindu temple in Tiruvallur district, India

Located on the southern banks of the Poondi reservoir, the temple features a central sanctum dedicated to Lord Shiva represented by a lingam with Parvati as Pasupathinayagi.

The temple's foundations date back between 1000 to 2000 years, marking its position as the 16th Shiva temple in Thondai Mandalam region mentioned in Thevaram hymns.

The temple holds the Brahmotsavam festival during Vaikasi month, along with celebrations of Margazhi Tiruvadhirai in December and Shivrathri in February.

The temple maintains operating hours from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with three daily rituals performed in the main shrine.

The temple contains a square peeta swayambulinga of Lord Shiva with a distinctive scar, requiring priests to perform rituals without physical contact with the deity.
