Annamalaiyar Temple Tank (Sivaganga / Brahma Tirtham)

The temple tank inside the Annamalaiyar Temple complex, often referred to as Sivaganga or Brahma Tirtham, serves as a sacred water source for ritual ablutions and ceremonial bathing tied to temple festivals. Stone steps lead down to the water on multiple sides, and the tank reflects the temple's towering gopurams across its surface during calm hours. Devotees consider a dip here spiritually purifying before darshan, and the tank plays a central role during major festivals when processional deities are brought to its banks for ceremonial rites.
