Jambukeshwarar Temple

The Jambukeshwarar temple is located in Tiruchirupalli in Tamil Nadu. The Thiruvanaikal temple is one of the five panchambootham temples in the country. It represents water from the five elements the Panchambootham represent. Lord Shiva is the presiding deity in the divine form of Jambukeswarar with His consort Akhilandeswari Amman. The sanctum sanctorum of Jambukeswara Temple has an underground water stream. The water underneath the Jala Linga continuously flows and nobody knows from where it comes and flows.

It is one of the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams, where all the four most revered Nayanars (Saivite Saints) have sung glories of the deity in this temple. The temple has inscriptions from the Chola period.
