A beautiful temple partially carved ina huge rock with an external gopuram and exquisite stone carvings. Not crowded. A serene place of worship.

Brilliantly maintained temple … Had peaceful Darshan …

A very beautiful rock cut 1000yr Vishnu temple with beautiful sculptures, a pond located near Pudukottai, Tamilnadu. The temple premises, including the pond needs good maintainence and upkeep.

Today I have visited this temple.it's a mountain carved temple. It's under archeological department. It's one among 108 Divya Desham. Must visit temple. Nearer you can visit lord Siva temple and kottai Bairavar is famous as well. You can see lord Perumal in Sleeping position.

This is the 43rd Divyadesam, not 106th. A Carved on the slopes of Thirumayam hill with many pillars etc intricately carved. A long history and the best is the bass relief of Ranganatha perumal with his consorts and all the rishis and devathas beautifully carved. Priest took pains to explain it fully. Lots of deities, Rama with consort, Hanuman, other deities are available. Beautiful temple tank with carved steps. One of the must visit Divya desams
