Kampahareswarar Temple is located at Tribhuvanam near
Tiruvidaimarudur in
Thanjavur District. The temple, dedicated to
Lord Shiva, was built by the Chola King Tribhuvana Chakravarti to commemorate his victory in the north. The temple with many sculptural works is similar to the Periya Koil of
Thanjavur. One of the rare sculptures seen here is the image of Sarabha with a strange combination of bird and man. The temple can be reached by traveling 6 km from
Kumbakonam in the
Mayiladuthurai road.
