Jalantheeswarar Temple, Hindu temple in Thakkolam, India
The Jalantheeswarar Temple features a three-tiered entrance tower leading to various shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and his consort Giriraja Kannikambal.
The temple structure evolved through different dynasties, with Pallavas initiating construction, followed by Chola expansions and Nayak period modifications in the 16th century.
The temple stands as one of the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams, sacred places celebrated in the seventh-century Tamil Saiva canonical text Tevaram.
Four daily rituals occur between 6:00 AM and 8:30 PM, involving sacred baths, decorations, food offerings, and lamp ceremonies for the deities.
The temple tank maintains continuous water flow from the mouth of a Nandi sculpture, leading to its alternative name as Pokkeswarar temple.
