Tiruchuli Thiruvalluvar Temple is a Hindu temple at Periya Pudupatti in Tiruchuli, Tamil Nadu, India, dedicated to poet-saint Valluvar, the author of the Kural text. It is one of the few temples in the state of Tamil Nadu dedicated to Valluvar. Valluvar is worshiped as the 64th nayanmar of the Shaivite tradition and is taken in annual procession.
