Narthamalai, Trichy
Narthamalai has some of the
oldest structural stone temples, built by the Mutharaiyars. This
temple has six large, skillfully carved statues of Lord Vishnu
in the central hall. A 9th century Pallava cave temple dedicated
to Lord Shiva lies to the south, and in front of this is the
Vijayalaya Choliswaran temple. Vijayalaya was the first of the
later Cholas and as such, this Shiva temple is one of the
earliest Chola creations. However, glimpse of artistic greatness
that was still to come can be seen in the beautiful figures of
the dancers in front of the vimana, the elegantly carved
dwara-palakas and the figures of other Gods.
