Sri Seeraleswarar Temple, dedicated to
Lord Shiva, is an ancient temple dating back to the
Chola period. It lies on the banks of the Tirumalairajan River, a tributary of the
Cauvery, at Mathur village near Nachiarkoil on the
Kumbakonam-
Tiruvarur road.
The deity is Sri Seeralar, also known as Seerala Parameswarar, and his consort is Sri Nithyakalyani. The 120 cm tall
Shivlinga faces east. There is also a shrine for
Navagraha. Near the temple is a Samadhi of Sri Swabodhananda Swami, a devout Saivite, who attained moksha here.
