Best time to visitOctober to March; mornings or late afternoon

The Veerateeswarar Temple at Thirukovilur is one of the Ashta Veerattanam — the eight Shiva temples of Tamil Nadu, each marking a different heroic act. Thirukovilur's commemorates the destruction of the demon Andhakasura, and pilgrims working through all eight arrive here knowing precisely which act they have come for.

It stands in the same town as the Ulagalantha Perumal Divya Desam and within walking distance of it, which makes Thirukovilur unusual: two temples of national significance to two different traditions, close enough to see in a single morning. A good number of visitors come for one and discover the other.

The temple is an old foundation with the weathered granite and enclosed courtyards typical of the region's Shaivite sites, and it is a working temple rather than a monument — quieter than the Perumal temple on most days, busier on the festival dates of the Veerattanam circuit.

Like most temples in the district it closes through the middle of the day. Morning or late afternoon, and check current timings locally before you travel.
