Thirukumaresar temple, Hindu temple in Cuddalore district, India

The temple features a five-tiered gopuram entrance, multiple shrines, and rectangular granite walls enclosing the main sanctum dedicated to Lord Shiva.

The temple's construction dates back approximately 2000 years to the Pallava and Medieval Chola periods, with modifications during the Nayak period.

The temple hosts four daily rituals and multiple annual festivals, with Mahasivarathri in March-April gathering numerous devotees for special ceremonies.

Located 500 meters from the railway station and main bus stand, the temple remains open from 6:00 AM to 8:30 PM with enhanced activities on Mondays and Fridays.

The temple contains specific Gnazhar trees surrounding the deity's image and houses both a silver and golden chariot used during ceremonial processions.
