SriVanchiyam - Vanchinathaswamy Temple

Srivanchiyam is 25 kms from Kumbakonam, 1 km from Achuthamangalam on the Kumbakonam Nagapattinam route. This is 16kms from Tiruvarur on Tiruvarur Nannilam route. The presiding deity is Vanchinathan and His consort is Mangalambika. The Sivalingam is a Swayambhu and faces both West and East; hence puja is performed here in both the directions.
