History & tradition
Innambur Ezhutharinathar Temple is in Innambur, a village on the outskirts of Kumbakonam in the Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu. Shiva is worshipped here as Ezhutharinathar and Parvati as Nithya Kalyani. The deity is praised in the 7th-century Tevaram hymns of the Nayanars, so the shrine is counted among the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams. A five-tiered rajagopuram marks the entrance, and all the shrines are enclosed within rectangular walls.
