Abirameswarar temple
About Abirameswarar temple
Abirameswarar Temple stands as a significant place of worship in Thiruvamaathur, situated along the Chennai-Villupuram highway. The temple is dedicated to Shiva, worshipped here as Abirameswarar and represented through the sacred lingam. His consort Parvati is venerated as Manonmani Amman. The temple holds considerable historical and religious importance, as the presiding deity is mentioned in the Tevaram, a 7th-century canonical work of Tamil Saiva literature composed by the nayanmars, the revered Tamil saint poets. This recognition as a Paadal Petra Sthalam (temple praised in Saiva hymns) underscores its spiritual significance in the broader Tamil Hindu tradition.
