Literature talks of a tradition of Shiva (Nataraja) worship in existence even as early as the Sangam period (very early on in the Christian era), and the Tamil Saints have sung its fame when an established worship tradition was in place. The later Chola Kings (Aditya I and Parantaka I) adorned the roof of the shrine with gold, and the other Chola Kings treated Nataraja as their guardian deity and made several endowments to the temple as temple inscriptions testify. The Pandya Kings who followed them, and the later Vijayanagar rulers made several endowments to the temple. There is a stone image of Krishnadevaraya in the North Gopura which he is said to have erected. In the wars of the 18th century, this temple was used as a fort, especially when the British General Sir Eyre Coote unsuccesfully tried to capture it from the Mysore Kings. During this period, the images of Nataraja and Sivakamasundari were housed in the Tiruvarur Tyagaraja temple for safety.Ramakrishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391020678534194379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469680352958652051.post-5292250013012784042011-11-24T15:34:59.550+05:302011-11-24T15:34:59.550+05:30Ramesh...nallthan irukeren...Business athu pattuku...Ramesh...nallthan irukeren...Business athu pattuku iruku..was busy with some wok and travel...chitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162975193030085486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469680352958652051.post-9189647274997130032011-11-24T15:33:26.793+05:302011-11-24T15:33:26.793+05:30Arti, thanksArti, thankschitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162975193030085486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469680352958652051.post-33116683696269828712011-11-24T15:33:08.827+05:302011-11-24T15:33:08.827+05:30Ashok, thanks a lot..Ashok, thanks a lot..chitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162975193030085486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469680352958652051.post-67389160812318205262011-11-23T21:25:39.980+05:302011-11-23T21:25:39.980+05:30chitra ji..eppadi irrukingo? long time no c...howz...chitra ji..eppadi irrukingo? long time no c...howz business? sure all well as u r a wonderful person..wishes..R.
