- Abathsahayeswarar Temple, Aduthurai (also calledTen Kurangaadutrai Temple, Aduthurai) is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva located in the village of Aduthurai, Tamil Nadu, India. Shiva is worshipped as Apathsaheswarar, and is represented by the lingam. His consort Parvati is depicted as Prabhavalli. The presiding deity is revered in the 7th century Tamil Saiva canonical work, the Tevaram, written by Tamil saint poets known as the nayanars and classified as Paadal Petra Sthalam. It houses two gateway towers known as gopurams. The tallest is the western tower, with five stories and a height of 72 feet (22 m). The temple has numerous shrines, with those of Abathsahayeswarar and Prahavalli being the most prominent. The temple has six daily rituals at various times from 6:00 a.m. to 9 p.m., and three yearly festivals on its calendar. The Aippassi Annabhishekam festival is celebrated during the day of the Aippasi (October - November) is the most prominent festival. The temple was originally built by the Cholas and has around fifteen inscriptions from them. The present masonry structure was built during the Nayak during the 16th century. In modern times, the temple is maintained and administered by Thiruvaduthurai Adheenam, a Saiva monastic institution.. (en)
