Welcome to the Sanctum
A Shaivite temple in Sankanthiradu village, Tamil Nadu, dedicated to Avudayammal and Ammanathar Swami. A modest but cherished shrine rooted in the spiritual heritage of the locality.
Aurulmigu Avudayammal Udanurai Ammanathar Swami Temple stands in Sankanthiradu village, Tamil Nadu, as a centre of Shaivite worship. The temple honours two presiding deities—Avudayammal and Ammanathar Swami—whose names suggest a classical South Indian pairing of the Divine Mother and the Supreme Lord. The epithet 'Udanurai' (dwelling together) reflects the theological intimacy of these forms within the Shaivite tradition.
