- Shonil_BPune, India366 contributionsHoly Place worth visit.This temple is located in the town of srirangam which is different from trichy it is approximately 13 kms from Trichurapally Jn Rly Stn. This temple has a very vast premises and each and every corner of this premises is worth visiting. The architecture and carving on the pillars ceilings are awesome. Please check the timings before visiting the temple as it is not open for the deity to be seen for all the times but you can visit the temple from outside at anytime during the day. Shoe stand available outside the Gopuram.

In comparison to other shiva temple hardly there were any visitors.There is no ticket system.we could go to inner sanctorum and offer puja.Continuous chant of Oum Namoh Shivay will fill your heart. There is a garden outside. Fragrance of flower will amuse one's heart.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 20, 2024

Shiva in the form of water lingam. Also called Jalakandeswarar the sanctum sanctorum is always wet. Peaceful temple. Gives a serene feeling. The representation of Parvathi is Sri Akhilandeshwari. A graceful idol seems to bless you directly.

It is one of the very oldest shiva temple very close to Trichy. Temple architecture is so beautiful and tempting you to click the nice pillars with nicely carved sculpture. Siva moolasthan is always in water and Akilandeswari amman sannaadhi is so divine. You must and have the blessing of siva and parvathy.

This is a great temple to visit. They have cleaned up the temple and it is a nice place to walk around inside the temple. The architecture within the temple is beautiful and you can enjoy it leisurely on non religious days.

This is a beautiful temple with a powerful vibrations. The complex is large. You need about 1.5 hours to really enjoy the temple. Either go there early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid crowds

This temple has a story with a deep meaning to it. It's one of the Panch Bootha sthalams representing Jal tattva or water. Therefore the lingam here is called Apu lingam.
Please visit Sri Akhilandeshwari temple first, then head to Sri Jambukeshwarar. The Garbha Gudi is quite small and only a few can enter at a time. Therefore, lines will be a bit slow moving. But completely worth the time and effort.

While not immediately striking, this quaint temple is surprisingly charming. Its design is intricate and there are also local ceremonies involving elephants and cows. I might actually enjoy this Shiva temple even more than the large Swamy temple nearby to it!

Grand temple, near Srirangam. Was very crowded on Sunday. Preferably choose a time that's less crowded like early morning, etc. But finally, we had good Darshan of the Lord and Amman

The
Jambukeswarar Temple is about 1800 years old, situatedin Trichy, Tamilnadu. It's a wonderful temple, with a huge complex, spacious and beautiful. The main temple has about 800 pillars. Words cannot describe its beauty. Best part of the temple is that it's less crowded and one can peacefully have darshan and walk around. It would be nice to have a guide to visit the whole temple. As per tradition one must visit Goddess Akhilandeshwari first, then visit God Jambukeswarar.

While there is no specific dress code, one should avoid very casual clothes like shorts, track suits etc, in my view.

Can I carry my phone and camera with me while visiting the Jambukeshwar Temple , but not use it to take pictures inside the Temple. If not is there a counter for holding the phone while I go in for Darshan

Sim, regarding the temple architecture , history, temple timing information etc you can check out my TA review.
Cauvery boating is not allowed at this place and while there is water right now due to the copious inflow, there is no guarantee that there would be water in January end. You can ping me if you need more info but most of it is on my TA review

Respected Sir,
This is SUNIL KUMAR FROM KALPAKKAM, CHENNAI. Sir, I am working in Department of Atomic Energy, Kalpakkam. Sir, Our family is ( Group of 15 members) planning to visit jambukeshwar Temple on March 31, 2018. In our group aged persons are there who are difficult to wait for a long time in line for darshan. On that day, Full moon day(Pournami) sir.. if darshan line will be big means, it is tough to get darshan sir..
Any online darshan booking is available sir??
I am requesting you to kindly arrange for our family to do darshan at the earliest in the morning sir... we are reaching trichy by train at 6.30AM on 31-3-2018 sir... Hence, i am once again requesting you to kindly provide darshan bhagyam for our family in the morning session sir...
May Lord Shiva will shower his blessings to your family sir... Your heartful co-operation is highly awaiting and appreciable sir...
Thanking you,
Sunil kumar,
Kalpakkam - Chennai

It is possible, as distance between temples is not long. But you need to get ready, immediately after reaching Tiruchirapalli. If you can cover temples in Trichy before lunch, it is possible. Some temples must be closed afternoon. If you can finish Trichy temples by 1.00 pm, after having lunch you can go to Tanjore before 4 PM and leave Tanjore big temple by 6 PM. Tanjore - Kumbakonam will not take more than an hour or maximum one and half hour. Straight away dash into Sarangapani temple and pick up the dinner so that you can catch the train by 10 pm. I do not know about the Travels service in Tiruchirapalli and probably you can google and find it out. If I come across some travels contact number, I will let you know.

Instead of trichy suggest you to get down at Srirangam station itself. There is a Subham residency hotel just 2 mins walk from srirangam train station. U can check with them for rooms availability and tempo booking. Srirangam temple is just 5 mins walk and jambukeswara temple is 10 mins auto ride. In Srirangam temple u can opt of 250 rupees darshan for faster darshan and jambukeswara temple it should not be more than 30 mins. Depending upon how u get ready in the morning, u can complete both by 11am atmost Start to Tanjavur by 11.30 and reach by 1PM. Have a nice visit to lord bruhadeeswara temple and complete ur lunch too. I think by 2.30PM u can start from Tanjavur and reach Kumbakonam by 4PM at which most of the temples will be opened for evening darshan. Have darshan of sarangapani temple, adi kumbeswara temple and maha maham tank before having dinner and boarding the train at 10PM as per your plan. U can have wonderful prasadams at Srirangam temple as breakfast. They are awesome and yummy.
Pillayar temple in trichy is on the hill and you will not be able to complete as part of your mentioned schedule. It need almost half day.

Is there car parking facility near jambukeswarar temple?
Written January 7, 2018
Hi, I do not know any hotels very near to this temple. But good hotels are there near junction (which I know of)--SRM, Grand Gardenia, Breeze (Jenny's) are examples. From junction, by bus, it takes about 45 minutes. Buses go by Chathiram, and the bus fare is Rs10 per head.
