Vedapureeswarar Temple, Hindu temple in Cheyyar, India
The temple stands on the northern banks of Cheyyar River with a seven-tiered rajagopuram gateway tower reaching 75 feet in height.
The temple faced destruction during religious conflicts between Hindus and Christians in 1748, leading to its reconstruction in 1788 with public contributions.
The temple contains shrines dedicated to Shiva as Vedapurishvarar and Parvati as Tripurasundari, with additional spaces for Ganesha and Kartikeya.
Visitors can access the temple throughout the day, with six daily rituals performed from early morning until evening, including special ceremonies during festivals.
The temple features an unusual arrangement where the Nandi statue faces away from the Shiva Lingam, contrary to traditional temple architecture.
