a 1000 yr old temple in CBE
  • gaytri_sekar
    Dear all,

    I do not know if this was discussed in the forum earlier. but i am proud
    that my home town has more old temples like other places historically known
    in Tamil Nadu.

    Please pen down your views about after viewing the photos...

    Sir,

    The first photo is the simple board in front of that temple. There is a new
    temple constructed in front of this temple and the entrance is pushed
    towards the side. The *Hindu Aranilaya Thurai *is looking to the control
    work of this temple as the gurukal told me.

    I seek your advice for making an in-depth analysis in this, bcos im not that
    knowledgeable as great people like you.

    We see so many renovations happening and at the end spoil the entire setup.

    Recent Horrors - Tirunelveli and Takkolam.

    My comment is on the way the painting is done.

    Please check for epigraphs, photos of the images etc.
    that will help to understand the period.

    Sir,

    I will do the same and get back.

    This would help me to learn more on how i should study a temple.

    Dear Madam,

    Narashimhar Temple, in a small cut road. As sir has said i wud try to find

    as far as i know - Perur Patteshwarar , Avinashi Avinashiappar temple and
    the Tirupur Sarcar Periyapalayam are the old temples in the region.

    Intrestingly Kongu Cholas 11th-13th had kings by name Karikalan, Rajendran, Kulothungan etc. The sthala puranams also will feature them like Karikala built this temple etc.

    There are many interesting epigraphs in temles there.

    All 3 I have documented, but not the one Kruthika mentions.
    So all the more interesting.

    Sir

    Can you share info on Sarkar periya palayam. Sundarar mentions that as Kongil Kurakkuthali. God name is Sugreevesvara ( Like Valisvara) but epigraphs belong to Pandyas of 12th - 13th. Any images?

    Ravi Sir,

    Have you done with Podanur Chettipalayam - Siva Temple which is linked with
    Perur temple as 1 of the 108 Kongu naattu siva temples?
  • ravi_eds
    Hello Kiruthika,

    Not yet, is this temple that ? I thought it was Vishnu sculptures.
