About Bhaktajaneswarar temple
This ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva, who manifests as Bhaktajaneswarar, holds profound significance in Tamil religious tradition as a Paadal Petra Sthalam—a shrine celebrated in the Tevaram hymns composed by the nayanmars. The presiding deity is represented by the lingam, while Parvati is depicted as Manonmani Amman. The temple is closely associated with the saint Sundarar, who is believed to have attained spiritual grace at this sacred location. Situated in Viluppuram district on the Panruti-Kedilam road, the shrine draws devotees throughout the day for darshan and ritual worship, with the spiritual atmosphere intensifying during evening aarti ceremonies and major festival celebrations when special pujas are performed.
