One of the famous temple of tamilnadu. This place is named as Tenkasi. It means this is the KASI of South India.On ancient history time South Indian people's are getting worried cause can't go Kasi due to long distance. So the lord Shiva came in dream of the King PARAAKIRAMA PANDIAN and told him to build a temple for South Indian people. the main lord of this temple is Lord Shiva as "Kasi viswanathar" and Parvathi devi as Ulagammal. This temple is constructed nearly before 700 years by the King PARAAKIRAMA PANDIAN. The stone statues and sculptures are really too good.

A peaceful place and one of the monuments of finest Architecture. It's always have been a centre of tourist attraction of Tamil Nadu as it portrayed as Tamilnadu style Architecture.

A beautiful temple with a huge gopuram. The original entrance is made of rocks. The newer gopuram is painted and you can see the intricate work on the entire structure. The entire gopuram is in shades of green. It's been a while since the kumba abishekam but the look is divine. This temple was built by the Pandian king who wanted to go to Kasi for his wedding. At that time there was a flood in river ganga and he was unable to go. When he prayed to Lord Siva asking that how will he be able to see him as the floods had stopped him. At that time the Lord Siva appeared to him and should him this spot which was a forest at that time. The king then came and built this temple here. It's in the same light as the Kasi temple and that is why it's called Tenkasi or Southern Kasi. Outside the Amman shrine you can see a depiction of the king bowing down to all those who are visiting the temple. It shows his humility and respect towards you as you have been chosen to come and see this beautiful and divine temple.

Never felt This much of positivity around me !! Such an mesmerising ancient temple.. loved every single view.. wish i could visit here often. Once You step on, You just feel the inner peace within you! Every single structure will leave you speechless! 💯

Wonderful to visit any ancient temple. Because the true worshipper gets the feeling of being near to the God through the vibrations passing in the devotees. The speciality of the temple is the two directions in which the wind from the Pothigai hills flows near the main tower( Raja gopuram). It is a mystery when you experience by standing there. Till the halfway of tower is crossed, the wind blows around you from all sides, but the moment you cross the tower, the same air pushes towards the sanctum Santorum as if making you to reach the god quicker. Though the land extents is small, the gopuram and the presiding deities besides the wind refresh us.

The Kashi Vishwanath temple is one of the most popular temples of Lord Shiva. It was through this light that Lord Shiva proclaimed His Supremacy over all the other Gods.

One of the beautiful Shiva temple. The goddess is Ulagamman. Apart from this there are many other deities in the temple well carved. The vast platform in front of the temple is an another attraction. The cool breeze in the evening is very nice to sit.

Amazing Lord Siva and Thayar temple. You feel the divine in here. And breezy wind you feel in the entrance (refer the details in poster photo) amazing experience. No where you find wind anywhere in the temple except the entrance even in this very Hot summer. Around temple you can find few restaurants, sweet shops etc. Especially Krishna halwa shop is famous for Halwa and snacks. You love it.
