February 2020.
This
Chendraya Perumal Temple’s visit was part of a Heritage Visit to the temples,
Hero stones, and Heritage sites around Anthiyur and Athani, scheduled on 03rd
February 2020. This temple is very close to Sri Vageeshvarar Shiva Temple of
Patlur.
Moolavar
: Sri Chendraya Perumal.
Some
of the important details are….
This
temple faces east with a dilapidated mandapa in front. The mandapa is a
typical Village-type house built with brick and a sloped roof paved with
Mangalore tiles. A Kongu style Deepa sthamba with a mandapa is after the front
entrance mandapa. Nagars (Including Shiva Linga and Krishna ) and donor
sculptures are in front of the artha mandapam entrance. Perumal is in standing posture. There are no
images in the koshtam.
ARCHITECTURE
The temple consists of sanctum sanctorum, antarala and ardha mandapam. Garudan is
in the artha mandapam. The whole
temple was built with brick on the stone pada bhandha adhisthana. This temple is very much similar to Sri Vaagheeshvarar Temple, which is 10th to 12th Century. The original temple may belong to the 10th to 12th Century and the Nayak period donor bas-reliefs on the pillars indicate that this temple may be extended/renovated during 1the 6th to 17th century.
