Dear Friends, Need your help in identifying a temple site. While coming back from Sittanavasal to Trichy, not very far after turning on to main road from Sittananvasal turn, there was a small Chola temple which I have noted as Penagudi. However I am not very sure about the name so I would like to confirm this before I start on this temple. Does anyone know about this temple? Is Penagudi correct name of the village? Is this Panangudi?
Hi Balaji, Thanks a lot for this information. I found a person from Panangudi as he wrote something about this place on his blog. He seems to be from this place only, his native place is Panangudi. When I asked about this temple, he told me that he cannot remember such a structure there in his village.
However I remember that when I visited there the name of the temple was Agastyesvara as now suggested by prof Swaminathan. I feel that it must be Panangudi only as many early scholars like K R Srinivasan, M K Dhaky etc have talked about this place. Just little bewildered that a person from that place is not able to identify or give some information on this. He also told me that his village, Panangudi, is not near to Sittanavasal. But it is very probable that we have many villages with same name and we have more than one Panangudi. Thanks once again.
