The reason of construction of this temple was to celebrate the conquest of Kaling-Ganges region by Rajendra-I.Ī very famous sculpture-Natraj–4 arms-upper right showing drum and abhay mudra while throwing across the body is gaja hasta.The matted hair locks are shown flying on both sides. The number of gopurams are also more in Thanjavur temple. The refinement and finishing of Thanjavur Brihdishwar temple was superior than this temple. Shivratri takes place in month of February-March. Now it is desolate place-completely desolate.Ĭurrently 4 daily rituals, Maha Shiv Ratri and some festiavlas even today are celebrated in this temple. All temples are similar type.Įxcept this temple, the old city of Gangaikonda Cholapuram has been completely destroyed- the empire which ruled India from Tungbhadra till south, Malaya, Srilank, Cambodia, Burma, Kalinga, Maldives, Andman Nicobar.

The crowd at this temple was very less as compared to Thanjavur temple but it is kept very neat by ASI department. It is said that for some reasons Thanjavur temple could not be consecrated so hurriedly his son constructed this temple and whose consecration took place after 42 years of construction. This temple though somewhat replica but does not have the same beauty of sculptures as was in his father’s temple. The skill and techniques used in constructing are already I described in Thanjavur temple so not discussing the same again.
