The Ardhanareeswarar Temple, also known as Tirukodimāda 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 Ardhanarishvara, a composite form of the Hindu deities Shiva and his consort Parvati.
The Chenkottu Velavar Temple, dedicated to Murugan (Kartikeya), is also situated on the same hill, and a separate temple for Ganesha, called the Ucchi Pillaiyar Kovil, exists adjacent to the main temple complex.
