Marundeeswarar Temple is in Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai. It is one of the Paadal Petra Sthalams: the saints Appar and Sambandar praised it in their hymns in the 7th century. The masonry structure dates from the Chola period, and the Chola kings enlarged it considerably in the 11th century; later additions are attributed to the Vijayanagara rulers. The temple has two seven-tiered gateway towers and a large tank. It is administered by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department of Tamil Nadu.
