Hi Friends, Visalur, a small village in Pudukkottai, has an early Chola temple dedicated to Shiva. The earliest inscription found in temple is from the Chola king Rajaraja I however it is a donative record. Confirming to other early structures it has Dakshinamurti on south, Vishnu on west and Brahma on north. Pandya-s extended their patronage to this temple after the Chola-s.
Hi Priya, Thanks you very much for nice comments. Please accept my apologies that I do not understand Tamil hence cant read your blog however I enjoyed the photographs in that. During my search on internet I cam across few videos where this temple was featured, are these regarding your trip?
Sorry you couldn't read the article - but yes, the video you've linked to, is where I have the pictures from (we recorded it during the Visalur-Malayadipatti-Kunrandar Koil trip with Dr Kalaikkovan). I didn't take the video, though - I think it was Kamalakkannan (the video appears to have been uploaded by the Varalaaru team.)
