A magnificent Siva temple is being built in the island of Kauai, Hawaii, United States.Known as the Chidambaram of the West because it is the only Siva temple in the western hemisphere, styled after temples of Chola.

Iraivan is an incredible vision and mission manifestation of HH Sivayasubramuniyaswami, who is fondly known as Gurudeva throughout the world, was an American by birth, a renaissance mystical Hindu saint.
HH vision of Lord Siva when looking for an ideal place to build a temple of paradise is the curretly the place where Iraivan is being constructed. At he cost of US$16,000,000, Iraivan will become the 108th Siva temple as prophesied by one of our ancient Nayanars, Saint Manikavasagar who had sang all the 108 Siva temple. It was only recently found and we are truely amazed at the similarity /prophecy of Saint Manikavasagar's mentioning of ``Kauvai koyil'' as the 108Th lost & found Siva temple in one of the Thevaram song stanzas centuries ago.
