Alanduraiyar Temple is a Hindu temple in the village of Kilpaluvur in Ariyalur District of Tamil Nadu, India. Dedicated to the god Shiva, the temple dates to remote antiquity and is associated with the 7th-century saint Thirugnanasambandar. It is believed that Parasurama worshipped here to get ride of the sin of killing his mother. The original brick temple was rebuilt in stone during the time of Parantaka Chola I and Uttama Chola.
