Sivalokanathar temple, Gramam, Hindu temple in Gramam, Tamil Nadu, India.

The Sivalokanathar temple features a seven-tiered gopuram entrance and contains multiple shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and goddess Soundaryanayaki within granite walls.

The temple dates from the Chola dynasty period and received substantial modifications during the 16th century under Vijayanagar kings administration.

The temple holds four daily rituals and celebrates major festivals including Chitra Pournami and Aani Thirumanjanam during the Tamil month of Aani.

Located 14 kilometers from Villupuram on Thiruvennainallur road, the temple opens twice daily from 6:00 to 10:00 and 18:00 to 20:00.

The temple displays an unusual architectural feature where Lord Dakshinamurthy sits on the bull Nandi instead of beneath a Banyan tree.
