KODUMBALLUR - MOOVAR TIRUKKOVIL GROUP

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.
