The
visit to this Pallava Ayyanar at Peranakavur of Uthiramerur Taluk in
Kanchipuram District, was a part of the Heritage Visit to Salavakkam, Porpandal, and
Peranakkavur, Shiva Temples, Pallava period Inscriptions and Heritage Sites on
one of the Pooja holidays, ie 15th October 2021. Thanks to Raj Panneerselvam, Udhayaraja
Rajasekaran from Thiruvannamalai, and Kesavan for their help and for traveling
along with me on this Heritage Visit.

mustache is shown on his face. He is wearing ornaments on the ears, around the
