Vadiveeswaram is a village,[1] now part of the town of Nagercoil, in Kanyakumari district in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

The name Vadiveeswaram is a compound of the words vadivu, which means 'beauty' and Eeswara, an appellation of the God Shiva, in Tamil.

[citation needed] Carnatic composer Neelakanta Sivan was born in Vadiveeswaram in 1839.

A rare image of saint Vyagrapada Vigneswari was found in Vadiveeswaram by the Kanyakumari Historical and Cultural Research Centre.

Another important festival worth to mention was the soorasamhaar/ soora samhaaram (சூரசம்ஹாரம் ) which too was held under azhagamman temple at keezha radha veedhi.
