Sri Sangameswarar Swamy Temple is located in Bhavani in Erode district in Tamilnadu.


Sri Sangameswarar Swamy is Lord Shiva's incarnation and Swayambhu here.


Goddess Vedhanayagi is the Consort of Lord Shiva.


This is one of the 276 Devara Padal Petra Shiva Sthalam and the 3rd Sthalam in Kongu Nadu.


This temple is built on the junction of three water sources and those are river Bhavani, river Kaveri, and an invisible water source, the Agaya Gangai.


This temple was built in Dravidian style of architecture and has 5 tiered Rajagopuram.


There are separate shrines for Lord Subramanya and Lord Vishnu.


63 Nayanars who worshipped lord Shiva are seated in worshipping postures.


The Koneru is named as Surya theertham and Gayatri theertham.


 Kubera, son of Vishrava was gifted an aircraft to visit Shiva temples across the country in recognition of his devotion to Lord Shiva. While he was flying near the river Cauvery Kubera was surprised to see a deer, tiger, cow, elephant, snake, and rat drinking water near an Ilandhai tree on the river bank without enmity, to answer his wonder Kubera heard a voice from the sky saying it was a place where Vedas visited, inhabited by Gandharvas and advised him to worship the shiva lingam under the iilanadhi tree. The temple's Ilandhai tree gives fruit in all seasons and is used for everyday puja even today. The cow behind the Vishnu statue remains the harmony between Saivism and Vaishnavism. It was said that every inch under the temple has one shiva lingam. The presiding deity is believed to have been worshipped by Kubera and sages Vishvamitra and Parasara.


Devotees perform last rites for ancestors on the river bank and offer prayers at this temple.
