Adi Kumbeswarar Temple

Reviewed By 557gaurir - London, United Kingdom

Kumbakonam is known as the city of temples and this temple is one of the main highlights of the temple town of Kumbakonam. A majestic Shiva temple situated in the heart of the city. The temple is huge and very well maintained. The highlight of our visit was the elephant blessing the devotees near the temple entrance. What an intelligent being! If a parent went with a child for the blessing, he blessed the child first. Happy to see such traditions still being maintained.

Suriyanar Koil

Reviewed By ravdarknite - Bengaluru, India

We covered this temple as part of our trip to cover all Navagraha temples around Kumbakonam. This happens to be the first temple out of the 9 lot, to reach from Kumbakonam, which lies at a distance of around 15 kms. The entrance of the temple leads to Shiva temple (known as Kasi Viswanathar) where he resides in the form of lingam and the Sun God shrine is to the right from Shiva temple. One can offer prayers to Lord Sun for good health and eyesight, intelligence, skin ailments, offering lotus as offerings. Avoid the shops which invite you to leave footwear at their shop to induce you into buying from them. You can safely leave your footwear outside the temple. Car parking space is available at Rs 20 and convenient.

Gangaikonda Cholapuram

Reviewed By JPHStVincent - Singapore, Singapore

Gangaikondacholampuram is out in the countryside; there is just a small village. I arranged an AC car and driver in Kumbakonam. The drive took about 45 minutes one way (a little longer on the way back as we stopped for tea) and the charge was 1,250 rupees. And was that time and money well spent! The temple is magnificent, covered in fantastic statues and carvings both inside and out, with smaller shrines and a remarkable statue in the well maintained gardens. A true testament to the glory of the Chola dynasty. No entrance charge, but a small donation for taking care of shoes is expected.

Patteeswaram Temple

Reviewed By TravelExplorer_2005 - Bengaluru, India

This temple is dedicated to Lord Durga. It is in the outskirts of Kumbakonam. The temple is a huge complex housing Durga temple and Lord Siva Temple at the rear side. The temple entrances has huge gopurams at the entrance. The Durga Temple garbhagudi is close to its entrance. You get a beautiful view of the deity from the gopuram entrance of the temple. The Siva Temple at the rear is huge with lots of ornated pillars. This place is very calm and has a huge complex to relax. This place is worth visiting.

Very big but lesser crowded Siva temple situated a few Kms from Kumbakonam . The Nandi is huge around 15 ft and the lingam is very powerful . The Ambal shrine too is great . One portion of the big temple is locked but you can see brilliant Dravidian style architecture at play there .
