Valeeswaram
  • There is a Valeeswarar Temple in Mylapore, Chennai which, I learnt , dates
    back to Chola period.
  • Dear Sir,
    Thanks a lot for the info and request for such info from members.

    We have the following Valeeswarams pending for study


    1. Mylaopre
    2. Arasur
    3.Kundrathur
    4. Sevur
    5. Near Pancheshti
    6.Kanchipurm

    7. Sugreveswaram -Near Mayiladuthurai
    8. Kazhugathur near Mannargudi worshipped by Jatayu.

    There are another 13 supposed to have Ramayana Panels/Old Rama images.

    Sugreveswaram of Sarkar Palayam, referred as Kurukkuthali in Sundara Thevaram, has no epigraphs/songs to prove. Kuanganilmuttam and Ramapuram near Nagalapuram also are not considered.

    For this subject- we consider only

    a. There is a reference of any Ramayana Charector worshipping in Litraturetill Rajadiraja (11th) period.

    b. Or any epigraphical reference - Like Valiswaram, Sugreveswaram, etc till rajadiraja period

    c. Should have any Ramayana scluptures of - till Rajadirajaa

    Request members to give details of any temples known to them.

Howdy, Stranger!
