The Majestic Uthirakosamangai Temple:

The Uthirakosamangai Temple, also known as Mangalanatha Swamy Temple, is one of the world’s oldest Shiva temples, located in the Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu. With over 3,000 years of history, this sacred temple holds a significant place in Tamil mythology, known for its unique connection to Lord Shiva. It is believed that Shiva revealed divine secrets to Goddess Parvati here, earning it the name “Uthirakosamangai,” meaning the secret place of the goddess.

The temple is famous for its 6-foot emerald statue of Lord Nataraja, worshipped with great reverence during the annual Arudra Darisanam festival. The intricate Dravidian architecture, rich birth stone history, and profound spiritual energy make Uthirakosamangai a focal point for Shaivite devotees.
