Perur Pateeswarar Temple

Perur Pateeswarar Temple is dedicated to the Hindu deity Lord Shiva and was built by the Cholas and is considered to be thousands of years old. The stone carvings inside the temple and its pillars are breathtaking and are few of the finest specimens of the art.

The temple is said to be located at the spot where Lord Shiva himself performed the ‘Tandav’ dance. The golden statue of Lord Natraja (Shiva) is also one of the major attractions here.

Coimbatore International Airport (CJB) is the primary airport serving the city of Coimbatore in South India. It is located at Peelamedu, about 13 km (8.1 mi) from the center of the city. This Airport is the nearest airport to this Temple.

Getting Around Coimbatore

Intra city buses are the cheapest mode of conveyance but may be a challenge for a newcomer. If you do venture out on them and get stranded, ask the locals who are extremely helpful. Auto-rickshaws are the more expensive jaw-jarring option. Cabs and rented cars are most convenient and it is possible to hire them for the trip to Ooty too.
