Tiruppaatrurai Adhimooleswarar Temple, Hindu temple in Tiruppaatrurai, Tamil Nadu

The temple features two outer courtyards and a five-tiered gateway tower, with a central shrine housing a granite lingam representing Lord Shiva.

The temple contains numerous inscriptions from the Chola period, including those of rulers Parantaka Chola I and Vikrama Chola from the 10th century.

The temple belongs to the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams, a collection of Shiva temples celebrated in medieval Tamil poetry by Tirugnanasambandar.

Located 24 kilometers from Lalgudi and 14 kilometers from Trichy, the temple opens twice daily from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

According to local tradition, the temple was built where a Chola king discovered an anthill releasing milk during a hunting expedition.
