The Innambur Ezhutharinathar Temple is a Dravidian Hindu shrine dedicated to Shiva, located in the village of Innambur near Kumbakonam in Thanjavur district, Tamil Nadu. Shiva is venerated here as Ezhutharinathar, with his consort Parvati honored as Nithya Kalyani. The temple holds distinction as a Paadal Petra Sthalam—one of 275 sanctuaries celebrated in the seventh-century Tamil Saiva canonical text Tevaram, composed by the revered poet-saints known as the Nayanars. The structure features a five-tiered rajagopuram (entrance tower) with all shrines enclosed within rectangular walls. The temple maintains four daily rituals between 6:00 a.m. and 8 p.m., and observes three principal yearly festivals: Margazhi Tiruvathirai, Kodabisheakam, and Aipassi Annabishekam. It is administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
