Sri Agneeswarar
Some of the salient features of this temple are…
This temple faces east with three sanctums. Since the original temple was
completely dismantled new sannadhis were
built. Shiva Linga was installed pooja was also conducted. The dwarapalakas are
installed in front of the mandapa walls. The preparation of pillars for the
mandapa is in progress. All structures which include, vimana are constructed
with granite.
Even though the temple belongs to the 10th
to 12th Century Chozha period, there is no structure or inscription
to prove the same. The temple was renovated completely. An ancient small
mandapa and a portion of prahara wall
stands now will also be removed to give way for the new construction.
