Agnipureeswarar Temple, Thirupugalur, Hindu temple in Thirupugalur, India
The Agnipureeswarar Temple features a five-tiered Rajagopuram gateway tower and contains multiple shrines enclosed within granite walls in Tamil architectural style.
The temple construction dates to the Chola period of the 10th century, with inscriptions from Uttama Chola documenting land gifts for temple ceremonies.
The temple holds recognition in Tevaram, a 7th-century Tamil Saiva canonical work, and stands as one of the Paadal Petra Sthalams praised by Nayanmars.
The temple maintains six daily rituals from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, with specific ceremonies at 8:00 AM, noon, and 6:00 PM.
The temple contains a sand-based Shiva Linga that receives no oil anointment, and houses an Agni deity depiction with two faces, seven hands, and four horns.
