The Thirukkattalai Sundareswarar Temple, also known as the Thiru kattalai Sivan temple, is an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva located in Thirukkattalai, a village in the Pudukkottai district of Tamil Nadu, India.
The name Thirukkattalai comes from the words "Thiru" meaning sacred and "katrazhi" meaning sacred stone, alluding to the temple's status as one of the earliest structural temples built in Tamil Nadu. Earlier temples were mainly rock-cut cave shrines. The temple was constructed around the 9th century CE by the first king of the Chola dynasty, Aditya Chola.
The temple has a small sanctum sanctorum, the innermost chamber where the deity resides, and seven smaller shrines dedicated to various gods and goddesses. These smaller shrines are situated around the outer wall of the temple, an architectural feature uncommon in later temples. The enshrined deities include Surya (the sun god), Chandra (the moon god), Saptha Matha (the seven mothers), Vinayaka (Ganesha), Karthikeya (Lord Murugan), Jyeshta Devi. Inscriptions dating back to both the Chola and later Nayak periods can be found on the temple walls.
