A Thousand Years of Divine Grace

Built in the 11th century by the Chola dynasty, our temple stands as a testament to architectural brilliance and unwavering devotion. The sanctum houses a magnificent deity carved from a single black granite stone, radiating divine energy that has blessed countless devotees through the ages.Legend speaks of a divine vision that guided the temples construction, where the deity appeared to the king in dreams, blessing this sacred ground. Through centuries of history, invasions, and natural calamities, the temple has stood resilient, its spiritual essence undiminished.
