Bhaktajaneswarar temple, Hindu temple in Thirunavalur village, Tamil Nadu, India
The Bhaktajaneswarar Temple stands on two acres of land with concentric rectangular walls enclosing multiple shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and Manonmani.
The temple structure originated during the Chola dynasty, with Rajaditya Chola constructing it in the early 10th century over a previous Pallava temple.
The temple holds the distinction of being the 40th Devaram Padal Petra Shiva Sthalam, referenced in the sacred Tamil Saiva canon of 276 temples.
Three daily rituals take place between 6:00 AM and 8:30 PM, with the Sundarar Janana festival occurring during August and September months.
A separate Sukra Lingam near the Navagraham shrine marks the location where Sukracharya performed rituals to gain redemption from Lord Shiva's curse.
