Arulmigu Abhi Mukheswarar Temple is one of the lesser-known yet incredibly divine temples nestled close to the Maha Maha Kulam in Kumbakonam. The moment you step in, you’re welcomed by a peaceful and spiritually charged atmosphere that instantly calms your mind. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva in the form of Abhi Mukheswarar, and the lingam here is believed to be one of the 12 prominent temples associated with the Mahamaham festival. The architecture is traditional Dravidian, modest yet graceful, with beautifully carved pillars and shrines. It’s not usually crowded, which allows for a calm and unhurried darshan. The temple priests are kind and explain the significance of the deity if you ask. Being so close to the sacred Maha Maha Kulam adds to the spiritual relevance of this place. If you’re in Kumbakonam doing a temple circuit or during the Mahamaham festival, don’t miss visiting this sacred spot. It may not be as grand as some other temples in town, but it radiates a quiet, timeless devotion. 🕉️ Highly recommended for those seeking peace, devotion, and an authentic spiritual experience.

Abimukeswarar temple, located in Kumbakonam, is one of the twelve Lord Shiva temples where the once in twelve years Mahamaham festival takes place. Twelve Shiva temples in Kumbakonam participate in this festival. The speciality of this temple is that the presiding deity, Lord Shiva, is turned around, hence the name. Goddess Parvati is known as Amirthavalli. Another unique feature is that amongst the 'navagrahas', Shani Bhagwan is depicted as talker than the others

கும்பகோணம் மகாமககுளத்தின் கிழக்கு கரையில் அமைந்துள்ளது. அமிர்தவல்லி உடனுரை அபிமுகேசர். ஆலயம் தனியாரால் சிறப்பாக பராமரிக்க படுகிறது. தெஷ்னாமூர்த்தி மற்றும் பைரவர் வழிபாடு சிறப்பானது.
