Iravatanesvara Temple, Kanchipuram, Hindu temple in Kanchipuram, India.
The Iravatanesvara Temple features a sandstone vimana with granite foundations, facing east and displaying ornate architectural elements across its structure.
Pallava King Rajasimhan, also known as Narasimhavarman II, constructed the temple between 700 and 728 AD during his reign in Tamil Nadu.
The temple houses a central linga and Somaskanda panel, with specific locations designated for deities including Dakshinamurti, Gajantaka, and Brahma.
The Archaeological Survey of India maintains this Monument of National Importance, which opens daily for visitors from 6 AM to noon and 3 PM to 8:30 PM.
The temple's circular sanctum contains special openings in four directions for ventilation, with a tank called Jurahara theertham believed to offer healing properties.
