Ona Kantheeswarar Temple, Hindu temple in Panjupettai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Ona Kantheeswarar Temple features a three-tiered entrance tower, an outer courtyard measuring 80 square meters, and three main shrines dedicated to different deities.
The temple earned recognition in the seventh century through its mention in Tevaram, a significant Tamil Saiva canonical text written by revered saint poets.
Temple priests conduct morning and evening ceremonies that include traditional offerings to the granite Shiva lingam, considered a self-manifested form of the deity.
The temple operates from 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM daily, with two primary ritual ceremonies occurring at 8:00 AM and 6:30 PM under government administration.
Three separate shrines house distinct Shiva lingams associated with the demons Onan, Kanthan, and Jalandeeswaran, who constructed the temple according to local narratives.
