…a
continuation post of Pulicat Heritage Visit.
25th
February 2017.
During my previous visit, I could not enter from the east side due to
heavy grown the vegetation. I had seen only the top of the vimanam from a long
distance. This time we are lucky to see the temple. The temple is under the
control of the Tamil Nadu Tourism Department. The renovation of the main sanctum
was abandoned. The main sanctum was built with Laterite stone from the base
including koshtam. It was told that a court case is pending in the Madras High
Court in connection with the procedure to be adopted in the renovation of the
temple.
The main sanctum front mandapam has mandapam, total Ramayan
epic was chiseled on the lintel beam of the ceiling. It was sad to see a
lintel was used as a roof slab and also we had seen a Telugu inscription. The Garudalwar sannadhi and balipeedam look in a very bad state.
The Thayar Sannidhi is in dilapidated condition due to age and
vegetation grown. The roots of the trees run from the roof to the ground which
had damaged the structure extensively. It was said that the temple might
belong to Vijayanagara Nayaka's period. The Thayar sannidhi was constructed
with stone and the pillars have different reliefs. It is very sad to see the
condition of the temple, in a crumbling state.
