CHIDAMBARAM

In addition to these, there are many adorable deities installed at several places in the corridors. They are the representations of many famous Siva lingams associated with the names of different temples in India. Among them there is a stone representation of Kalpavriksha too. Another! Vinayaka, is another odd image seen here, blowing conch and it draws attention. The Navagraha Mandapam is well built and deserves veneration. 

There is a huge Ganesh image in a grand shrine in the outer prakara deemed to the one of the biggest in India. And the temple of Sivakami Amman lying in the outer prakara has a beautiful arch and it has many sculptural beauties. The Subrahmanya temple lies next to Ambal temple. It is also a piece of superb art. Adjacent to this lies the Durga temple. All are extremely superb both in architectural and sculptural points of view.
