This
ancient temple group built by Boodhi Vikramakesari of Chola dynasty
treasures up exquisite sculpture and stands as a specimen of the
much prized Dravidian architectural style. This is a Tirukkovil
built for three divinities, but only two are existing now
immortalizing the royal patronage and the glory of the adorable
gods. There is another gem of Chola's patronage called
Muchukundeswarar Tirukkovil, where Lord Siva is worshipped with
great devotional fervor. The royalty spared no pains to endow it
with divinity through profuse sculptural beauties.
It
lies in Kodumballur 36 km off Pudukkottai, accessible by train or
bus.
