Genre: Architectural Photography
General view looking towards temple entrance, with building work in evidence: 'Having heard of the extensive repairs that were being carried out to this temple by the Nattukottai chetties, an inspection was made. It was found that the main buildings, including the shrine, had been long ago demolished, and in their stead, the erection of the new buildings had been completed. The only remains of the ancient buildings of the temple that were left uninterfered with, are a hundred-pillared mantapam, an ordinary granite Dvajastambam of about 40 feet in height, and an unfinished gopuram at the entrance to the third courtyard wall. The wall of these courtyards are in complete ruins.' (Annual Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of Madras and Coorg for the year 1904-05, Madras, 1905, p. 20).
