TANJORE

MURUGAN SHRINE

It is located at the northern end of the west quadrangle. It is an architectural marvel praised by experts. The six faced idol of Murugan mounted on peacock is carved out of a single rock. Many saint singers poured out their souls in song and they are recited with great devotion on important occasions. The visual appeal of the image is quite in passive.
