Located near SALEM old bus station. Worshipped by saint SUGAR in VANAM(forest ). & hence SIVA called as SUGA VANA ESWARAR. old and ancient temple with 77 feet square size water tank (PUSHKARANI ). Renovation works going on. As usual all sannathis prescribed for SIVA TEMPLE are installed. Very powerful and positive vibrations prevailing in temple. OOM NAMASIVAAYA. SIVA SIVA

Constructed in 1200AD..... One of the very oldest temple in salem.... Kumbaabishekam was held in 1998.... If you are the devotee of lord shiva, you need to visit this temple at least once in your life... Now the renovation works are going at the temple... So you can worship only Lord sugavaneshwarar and swarnaambiga.... I have attached the timings of temple as photo below... Please check it out

One of the very best architecture of temples I have visited ever. 5 gopuras at 5 directions with a small lake inside that has fishes in it as well. Very peaceful to visit. Less cost effective. There is a special individual temple at the top of the hill apart from this. We couldn't able to visit as its closed on the timing we visited. It will be closed around 1-30 pm to 2 pm and will get re-opened at 4 pm. Definitely should visit.Highly Recommended.

Such a great Temple Under Renovation Works Now 500+ Year's old Kovil

Ancient popular Shiva temple in Salem. On muhurtham days very crowded. Weddings are conducted in front of Murugan Sannidhi. Car parking is available inside and can be approached east and west side entrance. Maharishi SUGAVANAR statue situated near Navagraha Sannidhi. Nandavanam is well maintained with goshala.

A very ancient temple located in the centre of the city, dedicated to Lord Shiva,is in the form of Lingam.

Ancient temple , good vibes but the staff are so rude towards devotees . One Bhaskar there behaves like an animal with humans . They physically abused and had a worst experience . There are many other good places to visit to have Sarahan if Shiv than this place . They have goondas there to manhandle women hyping unnecessary..

Beautiful temple. Lingum is suyamu. Ampal is sornampikai, lord murugan, ganeshan and etc god this place. I really enjoyed the temple.

Amazing temple 🛕 at Salem city centre it was absolutely beautiful and delightful to visit this temple. Very old and ancient temple it’s just 0.6kms from Kottai Mariamma temple. Hence you can visit both the temple at once. Car 🚘 parking 🅿️ they charge 20rs.

Beautiful temple and pretty old. Very good Parking space, wash rooms, pond near the temple.

devotional place and good to visit

Such a divine temple to visit. Great sculptures and idols around. Exclusive parking space for car and bike is available inside the temple premises. Neat and clean environment is maintained. Temple might get crowded incase of any special occasions. Only thing is, Since the temple entrance is located in the corner of the street road, it's quite an issue when the heavy vehicles like bus and van tries to enter inside.

Beautiful temple. One of the five temples worshipped by Bheema, the Pandava Prince. The Lord is self manifested. It is a belief that worshiping all temples in a day cleanses one of all sins.

My own city's Shivalaya. Recently grand celebrated Kumbabhishegam. Very clean and big place area's for parking. Great divine temple of over many centuries. Staff's and care takers are very kind and supportive. Methods of Pooja very much appreciated🙏. Every one getting great experience and fullest satisfaction of divinity. Namanshivaay.

An ancient temple with divine power. Once we visit, peace of mind will come. Prayers are also accomplished. Neatness and cleanliness is also maintained. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
