Othandeeswarar temple, Hindu temple in Thirumazhisai, Tamil Nadu, India
The temple features a five-tiered rajagopuram gateway tower, granite walls enclosing multiple shrines, and a square-shaped sanctum with decorated stone pillars.
Built in the 11th century by Chola king Kulothunga II, the temple contains numerous inscriptions from the Chola period and underwent expansion during Vijayanagar rule.
Four specific daily rituals take place at the temple, with devotees gathering to worship Lord Shiva as Othandeeswarar and his consort Parvati as Kulirvithanayaki.
The temple operates two sessions daily, from 6:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 4:30 PM to 8:00 PM, with public transport available from Chennai's Koyambedu.
The temple's main tower follows the Gajabrushta design, where Lord Nataraja and the goddess face each other, making it a destination for couples seeking harmony.
