April 2019.
After
darshan of Sri Bhoomeeshwarar, at Marakkanam, our plan was to visit Perumukkal.
On the way there was a Place called Brahmadesam. I was little curious to know
more about this place, Shiva temple and
is there any connection to Rajaraja Chozha.
Moolavar : Sri Brahmapureeswarar
Consort : Sri Periyanayaki
Some
of the salient features of this temple are..
The
temple is yet to be completed. A small temple facing east. The damaged Rishabam
and the Chandikeswarar seems to be old, belongs to Pallava period. The other Idols are kept
inside the temple.
HISTORY AND INSCRIPTIONS
It
was told that this was the last temple started by Rajaraja Chozha-I. This was
verified at Thanjavur Saraswathi mahal library, and Pondicherry French
institute. But going by the iconography of the Chandikeswarar the temple may belongs to 7th to 8th Century Pallava period. The temple was reconstructed completely without any trace of old structures except Chandikeswarar and Moolavar.
Chandikeswarar
HOW TO REACH:
The
Temple is about 1 KM off main road. Brahmadesam is on the Tindivanam to
Marakkanam Road.
