Arulmigu Mangaleswari Udanurai Mangalanatha Swamy Temple - Hindu temple in Utrakosamangai - Ramanathapuram, India

Good temple with a white lord shiva idol and great sculptures in it and resembling the olden culture and sacrecity of the place with an 3000yrs old plant illanthai(Indian plum) depicts the temple to be one of the oldest temples of World

My visit to this temple was a deeply fulfilling experience. It offered not only a glimpse into the rich traditions of Hinduism but also a space for inner peace and reflection. I would highly recommend anyone seeking spiritual solace or cultural enrichment to visit this wonderful place.

Supposed to be the oldest Siva temple. Mangalanathar & Mangalambigai are the main deities. Emerald Nataraja statue is always covered with Sandal & opened only on Thiruvadhirai - Siva's birth day, once an year. Stalaviruksham (Location Tree) is 3000+ years old Elandhai Maram (Jujube tree). Entire temple campus is under renovation. A place to visit to understand the rich old culture of Hinduism.

One of the most beautiful temple in south India.This is the place where Siva transferred the secrets of Vedas to Parvati. Uthiram means (upadesam) kosam (secrets) Parvati (Mangai) hence this place is known as Uthira Kosa Mangai.

The main attraction of this temple is a statue of Natarajar made of emerlad which is about 51/2 feet tall. This idol is known as Margatha Natarajar and the deity is always covered with sandal paste. Only in the Tamil month of Margazhi on Tiruvathira nakshtram the sandal paste gets removed and there is abhishekam for the idol and this special darshan is known as Arudhra darishanam. Lakhs of devotees visit the temple on this day and on the next day again the idol gets smeared with sandal paste. To have a darshan of this deity, one must be there around 12.00 noon on regular days.

One of the oldest temple I have ever visited, this temple has the connection to Ravana who worshiped the Shiva peruman here and got married. Must visit temple when you come to Rameswaram.

Such a wonderful place, mist to visit once in a life time... because This temple is believed to be the world's oldest (first) shiva temple a claimed by temple authorities. This temple is also famous for its Nataraja idol made of Emerald stone, which is covered with sandal paste for 11 months except the month of January in which it cleaned and kept as it is for Darshana...

One of the most beautiful temples in Tamilnadu. And also it got an Indian Jujube tree which is 3000 years old
