Kasi Viswanathar temple, Sivakasi, Hindu temple in Sivakasi, India.
The temple exhibits Dravidian architecture with a three-tiered gopuram, granite walls enclosing multiple shrines, and intricate stone carvings throughout the structure.
The temple was constructed during the 16th century under Pandyan ruler Harikesari Parakkirama Pandian, with subsequent additions made by the Madurai Nayak dynasty.
Four daily rituals take place at the temple, where Lord Shiva is worshipped as Kasi Viswanathar and his consort Parvathi as Visalakshi.
The temple maintains regular hours from 6 AM to 12 PM and 4 PM to 8:30 PM, extending to full-day operations during new moon days.
In 1899, the temple became the center of social reform when conflicts over temple access rights led to the Sivakasi riots.
