Arthanāreeswarā temple, also known as Thirukodimāda Chenkundrūr (Tamil: திருக்கொடிமாடச் செங்குன்றூர்), is an ancient Hindu temple, located in Tiruchengode, in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The temple is dedicated to Arthanāreeswarā, a form of the Hindu deity Shiva combined with his consort Parvati. Also called as "Umayorubāgan" "Mādhorubāgan" and Ammaiyappan (mother-father). The famous Chenkottu Velavar Temple, dedicated to Lord Murugan, is also situated on the same hill and a separate temple for Lord Vinayaka far away from the main temple complex. The Vinayaka temple is situated in a rock on one of the peaks of the Mountain and is called as "Ucchi Pillaiyar Kovil".
