Arulmigu Nellaiappar Temple - Hindu temple in Tirunelveli - Tirunelveli, India

It is one of the very big temples in Trunelveli. I really loved the art and architecture of this temple. The art was eye catching and very difficult to make it. I was really fascinated and amazed by our ancestors work. I would recommend people to come here and get pride in what our ancestors created for us!!!! The government should spend some money to fix some issues here and improve the cleanliness of the temple

Nallaiappar swamiand Kanthimadhi Tayaar temple in Tiruneveli is an awesome Shivaite temple. Probably the sabctul was built in 7th century by Pandya king to which the Cholas, Cheras,Pallavas and Nayaka have added making it one of the largest and beautiful Shiva temple. The surprise part us the large, beautiful ornamental idol of Lord Vishu in sleeping position immediately next to main deities gudi. Apparently Shiva and Parvathi got married here and Vishnu as being Parvathis brother after attending the marriage was resting. It's the Tamara copper sabha, one of the 5 sabhas where Shiva has performed his cosmic dance. The sculpture in the entrance and vasantha mandapa is so realistic that it takes away your breath. A true treasure of our culture. Donating vibhuti is very auspicious.

The temple is located on the northern banks of Thamirabarani River in Tirunelveli district. We had visited during the weekend Sunday. There wasn't much crowd. Main Sanctum Nellaiappar is very powerful, you will feel positive vibes. And his consort called as Kanthimathi Amman. You get archanai ticket for 5/- bucks per person. For commuting to this temple if any one staying in hotel stays , I would suggest to go by Local bus. Here auto driver's charge around minimum 100-150 bucks depending on your stay location. Here the priest don't act rudely, very polite, we get ample time worship the God. They don't rush things in this temple. That's really good. The sculptures in this temple is just mind-blowing. Highly recommend Om Namah Shivaya

Went in early morning for kalasandhi poojai. A great view. Not much crowd today. This temple is a good example of ancient architecture. High spacious roof, way for good ventilation. Planned well. Always delightful to be here.

A very good temple, with a very large area, extremely intricate designs and sculptures. It is one of the best place to visit in thirunelveli as it has an extremely good carvings, idols and atmosphere. This place's serene environment help a person in detaching itself from the regular fast-paced life. A highly devotional environment and a lot of different gods make this place worth visiting. The 4 star is given due to the attitude and greed of the priests, else this place is worth even more than 5 stars.

Visited Nellaippar on the way from Tiruchendur, able to spend only a few hours. But really amazing architecture, both wooden and stone designs are still stunning in the look of these many years. Planning to take my family to visit and spend the whole day to see this beautiful and spiritual place. Even if you're fond of God or not, we have to see in our lifetime

Good Experience - The sanctums of the temple and the gopurams were constructed by Nindraseer Nedumaran (Koon Pandian) who reigned in the 7th century AD. The mani mandapam with its famous musical pillar was also likely built by Nindraseer Nedumaran. The flag stand near the Nandi was set up in 1155.[2]Later Pandya, Kulasekara Pandyan I built the outer wall of the Thirunelveli Nellaiappar temple, in 13th century.
