Marundeeswarar Temple, Thirukachur, Hindu temple in Kanchipuram district, India
The Marundeeswarar Temple stands within a one-acre complex featuring granite rectangular walls that contain multiple shrines and ceremonial spaces.
The temple dates back to the 8th century during the Pallava dynasty period and received praise from the Tamil Saiva Nayanar Sundarar.
The temple conducts three daily pujas with specific sequences of abhisheka, alangaram, naivethanam, and deepa aradanai for Marundeeswarar and Irulneeki Thayar.
The temple maintains regular hours from 6:00 AM to 8:30 PM, with special ceremonies occurring on Mondays and Fridays throughout the year.
According to Hindu tradition, the skin of Matha Sati fell on Mount Rudragiri where the temple stands, connecting the site to healing practices.
