Ekambareswarar Temple

Reviewed By 100parag - Kolkata (Calcutta), India

Considered one of the Pancha Bhuta Sthalam this Shiva temple will definitely boost your sense of spirituality and bliss. From the stunning architecture, to the sound of nadeswaram in the inner sanctum, to the centuries old mango tree where the union of Shiva and Parvati took place there is so much to see and take in. I even found space to meditate in peace for a while here and eat prasadam after, without being rushed out.

Saw this after Kamakshi temple. Excellent experience. A beautiful Vishnu temple with tremendous architecture and the beauty of a typical old "bhavya" temple in Tamil Nadu. Brilliant.
