Puranic Significance

The temple was built to shed the gold, material, labor, blood and sweat of the Cholas. But today the temple is in a dense condition with vines and vines of plants without maintenance Although it is a temple built of black stone, it has been around for a thousand years. The temple has started cracking without maintenance. The poojas were not regular and the temples were gone, and the sanctum sanctorum was empty. Lord Abharatha Rakshakar has the temple facing east and Goddess Abirami facing south. At the gate of the sanctum sanctorum are Ganesha and Murugan. A brick fade connects the two sanctuaries. There are cracks in them too, and the gate is broken. The seeds that fall in the halls grow into plants and trees. The government, for its part, has built a large high school to cover the temple to the south, just as the Valley grazed the crop. The front of the temple is occupied by a ration shop, a panchayat hall, a health building and a primary school. Not only that, but a water tank has also been built. **Can this government put another religion in place without such a question? The people of this town of a thousand, who have to hear all this, do not take it too seriously Hindus, this is our property, our pride, our cultural center. This is the soil of Chola who has conquered many countries. Although the government is occupying it, it can never be questioned if it is not questioned now.
