This temple built by Rajaraja Chola II in the 12th century is dedicated to Shiva. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the Brihadeeswara Temple of Thanjavur and the Gangaikondacholisvaram. This magnificent complex of Dravidian architecture is relatively well preserved. The complex has a theertham (sacred basin) connected to the Cauvery River. A small museum is located to the right of the entrance, with beautiful sculptures and some mural paintings from the Chola period.

Très beau temple
Un temple du XII-e siècle qui a des magnifiques sculptures et dont la visite sur la route de Puducherry vers Tanjore et amplement justifiée.

Temple édifié au 12° siècle en forme de chariot tiré par des chevaux.
Des sculptures très fines ornent le bâtiment. Certaines ont encore des traces des peintures originales alors que d'autres sont toujours vénérées.
