Avinashi Temple, Hindu temple in Tirupukkoliyur, Tamil Nadu, India

The temple features a seven-tiered Rajagopuram reaching over 100 feet in height and contains four sacred water wells within its grounds.

The temple's construction began in the 10th century CE, with subsequent expansions by Chola, Hoysala, and Mysore dynasties enhancing its architectural grandeur.

The temple holds significance as the first among 276 Devara Paadal Petra Shiva Sthalams and stands as the primary Shiva temple in Kongu Nadu region.

Located 40 kilometers from Coimbatore and 10 kilometers from Tiruppur, the temple remains open throughout the day and maintains special hours during new moon days.

The temple houses a 70-foot tall Deepa Sthambam carved from a single stone, decorated with intricate reliefs of Lord Vinayakar and Saint Sundarar.
