There are 17 Temples which have connection with the famous Mahamaham festival which is held once in 12 years in Mahamaham tank, Kumbakonam which is situated at Kumbakonam, in Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu, India. Of these 17 Hindu temples 12 temples belong to Shiva while the other are Vishnu Temples. In Hindu temples of Kumbakonam The left out temples have been added. Of the 12 Shiva temples 10 temples are found in Kumbakonam and are incorporated in Hindu temples of Kumbakonam. Other two Shiva temples are around Kumbakonam. This is one of the five Vishnu temples connected with Mahamaham. The five temples are Sarangapani Temple, Chakrapani Temple, Ramaswamy Temple, Rajagopalaswamy Temple, and Varahaperumal Temple. Of these five temples there were articles on the first four temples. As articles on Varahaperumal Temple, new article on this temple was started. As the Mahamaham festival is a world renowned festival and the 17 temples are very important, it was felt that no temple should be left out in Wiki. As it is connected with Mahamaham festival the link is given with the Mahamaham. Attempts will be made to add additional information whenever available.--B Jambulingam (talk) 07:30, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
