Eachanari Vinayagar Temple, Hindu temple in Coimbatore, India.
Eachanari Vinayagar Temple is a Hindu shrine in Coimbatore featuring traditional Dravidian architectural design and stonework. It houses a large granite statue of Lord Ganesha and sits near National Highway 209 in the city's landscape.
This site was established following an incident during transport when a cart carrying a Ganesha idol from Madurai experienced mechanical failure on its journey. The temple was later built at this spot and became a worship place for the community.
Visitors come to this temple to offer prayers and make offerings to Lord Ganesha at different times of the year. The sacred space holds meaning for people seeking blessings and taking part in local religious observances.
The temple is open during early morning and evening hours, allowing visitors to come at different times throughout the day. Electronic donation systems are available, and the location is accessible since it sits near a main highway.
The Ganesha idol here is one of the largest representations of this deity in Tamil Nadu with substantial proportions. Its unusual size sets it apart from similar religious statues found elsewhere in the region.
