About the temple

Tirukozhambiam Kokileswarar Temple is a Shiva temple in Thanjavur district, Tamil Nadu, revered as the 35th Paadal Petra Stalam on the southern bank of the Kaveri River. The deity earned his name Kokileswarar from legends of devotion by a cursed nightingale. 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.
