The '''Chandra Choodeswarar Temple''' is an ancient Shiva temple located on a rocky hill in the town of [[Hosur]], Krishnagiri District, [[Tamil Nadu]].

Due to variations in the local languages ([[Tamil language|Tamil]], [[Kannada]], [[Telugu language|Telugu]]) and dialects, the temple is also referred to as 'Chandira Choodeshwarar', 'Chandra Choodeshwara', 'Chandra Choodeshwar', 'Shri Choodeswarar' or 'Arulmigu Chandra Choodeshwarar'.

The main deities of the temple are [[Shiva]], depicted as the Shiva [[linga]] and the Goddess [[Parvati]], depicted as 'Maragathambal'.

==Names of the main deities==

'Chandra Choodeswarar' means the Eshwara who wears the Moon (Chandra) as an ornament on his crest or tuft of hair on top of the head.

Shiva's consort Parvathi is worshiped here as Maragathambal. ‘Maragatham’ means green and ‘Ambal’ means mother. This is in reference to the green plants and trees ([[Photosynthesis]]), which provide sustenance to all living beings.

==Temple history==
In the 10th century, Hosur was known as Chevidapadi, and in the 13th century, Hosur was known as Murasunadu, from 16th century onwards, it is been called as Hosur. The exact history of the temple is not clearly documented. Considering that the Hosur region is mentioned in ancient Hindu texts like the 'Padmagiri Mahathyamam', a part of 'Bramanda Puranam', a shrine for Shiva is deemed to have existed here from ancient times.

The temple has grown during the time of the [[Cholas]], [[Hoysala]] and [[Vijayanagara]] Emperors. The Chandra Choodeshwara Temple structure may have been built by the Hoysala king, Thirupuvanamalla Barvatharaja Anthiyazhvar, in the year 1260. The 13th-century inscription found during Chandra Choodeshwara temple patronage. Perumal Temple in Hosur and Bangalore Shiva Temple inscriptions tell the details of donations to Chandra Choodeshwara temple. There are also inscriptions of [[Rajendra Chola]] in this ancient temple. The temple was renovated by Azhakiya Perumal Aathimoolam.

==In popular culture==

The Chandra Choodeshwarar Temple has been the subject of documentary in an episode of [[TV9 (Kannada)|TV9]]'s series ''Heegu Unte'' in 2013.
