    Anbumikka Sivapathasekaran,

    Mikka Nantri.

    Very soon I will be writing a series of articles in this Website, on the Chola Temples in Karnataka state. The first in this series will be titled as "The Amman Temple (Kolar-Amma temple)built by Rajendra Chola - 1 at Kolar in Karnataka State"
  • Great Sir,

    could you find Rajendra's image there?
  • Date: 7-2-2012

    Anbumikka Sankaranarayanan,

    The Temple Priest of Kolar Amma Temple showed me a small stone image sculptured on the wall niche inside the mandapam before the Karuvarai of this temple, and said that it was the image of "Raja Rajendra Chola". Photographs of this image and of the interior & exterior of this temple have been taken, and will be up-loaded to PSVP Files, once my article on this temple is posted in this website very soon.

    Anbumikka Sankaranarayan,

    I think it will be a good contribution to the "Chola Hiatorical Studies", should any Research Scholar of PSVP venture to study and write a Research Article on the subject "Images of Rajendra Chola - 1 (both in stone and in icons)"

    In addition to the image said to be of Rajendra Chola - 1 at Kolar temple, I understand that there are stone Images also at Kalahasti temple in Andhra Pradesh and at a Chola Siva Temple at Nandi Hills in Karnataka state.

    I also saw a stone omage about 2 1/2 feet tall at Mukthi Nateshwara temple in Nelamangala district in Karnataka state, said to be that of Kulothunga Chola - 1. But the villagers there said it was that of "Raja Rajendra Chola". Discussions on same with photos of this image will be posted in this Website soon.

  • Thanks sir- Me and Saurabh had been there and we took all the images there for safe custody.

    In fact the Priest allowed us inside the old sanctum( Pre Rajendra) and we took those images also. However inside the new sanctum ( that belongs to Rajendra period), taking images was not allowed.

Howdy, Stranger!
