Tiruvarur Temple Tour - Part IV - Naduvanayanar Temple

So, located centrally in the pond opposite to the temple, is the Naduvanayanar temple. First lemme tell you about the pond. This pond covers a sprawling area of 25 acres. Huge isn’t it? Yup, and it’s one of the biggest ponds in India. Generally the temples located in the centre are really small, essentially they are just a single shrine. So, they are worshipped from the shore itself.

But that’s not the case here. The temple is real huge. And people visit this temple often. And how do we get to the mid-point of that sprawling 25 acres? Swimming. Ok, just kidding. Regular coracle (that circular bamboo boats) service is available to reach this place.

This temple is called the Naduvanayanar temple. This temple is a proper temple with regular poojas and proper worship. The Lord Shiva here is called Naganathar and the Ambal here is called Yogambikai.

With that Tiruvarur Temple Tour cometh to an end!!!


To Reach There:

To Tiruvarur:

From Thanjavur/Tanjore – 70 km to the east

From Trichy – 124 km to the east

From Kumbakonam – 42 km to the south east

To Stay: Thiruvarur has several low & middle end local hotels & lodges.

Dedicated to Mom and Pop.

    India is a religious land. Ever since the dawn of civilization, India has been the birthplace of many religions. Being so, the country boasts of a lot of pilgrim destinations within its precincts. Rich in mythology, it has a number of temples, mosques, monasteries, churches and gurdwaras, which attract lakhs of devotees every year. Pilgrimage tour India
