About the temple

Piranmalai Kodunkundreeswar Temple is a three-tiered Shiva temple built on a sacred hill in Sivagangai District, Tamil Nadu, believed to be a fragment of Mount Meru. The temple is notable for a rare astronomical feature where sunlight falls continuously on the deity from October to April. The shrine draws devotees through the day for darshan and aarti, with the atmosphere reaching its peak during the evening rituals and on festival days when special pujas are performed.
