: t is located 4 km(2.5 Miles) west of Kumbakonam, was built
by the Chola King, Rajaraja II. This temple is dedicated to
Shiva, who is Airavateshvara, the “Lord of Airavata”. Legend
claims that after Airavata, the white elephant of Indhra, the
God of the Heavens, regained his lost colour, he worshipped
Shiva at this spot.The four-tiered temple has a Sanctum and
three halls, of which the finest is the Raja-Gambira Mandapa
conceived as a stone chariot drawn by caparisoned horses with
Brahma as its driver. The outer walls have fine friezes and
carvings of musicians, dancers and acrobats as well as depictions
from the Periya Puranam, a Tamil treatise on 63 Shaivite poet-saints,
the Nayannars.
Tirubhuvanam: It is located 8 km (5 miles) Northeast
of Kumbakonam, is dedicated to Kumbheswara, the “God who removes
Fear”. This is also an old silk weaving centre. Kambaharesvarar

AD). There are two Gopurams and two Praharams,the Karpagraham,
Artha Mandapam, Maha Mandapam, Muha Mandapam and Somaskandar
Mandapam. The Karpagraham is in the shape of square. It's both
sides are having Karnathuvara steps. Dhakshinamoorthy, Lingothbhavar
and Bramma reside on the wall of Sri Vimana. There are six base
of Srivimana. One can see sculptures of the scenes of Puranas
on the wall of Srivimana. Some of other shrines are in the temple.
It is the 13th century Chola temple dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Gangaikonda Cholapuram: It is one of the very ancient
temples of Tamil Nadu, built in the Chola style. Gangai Konda
Chola Puram, “The City of the Chola who took the Ganges”, was
the capital of powerful Chola dynasty during the reign of Rajendra
I. Rajendra I, was the first Tamil ruler to venture Northwards
and a great military commander like his father Rajaraja I. He
built this city to commemorate his successful campaign across
the Ganges. According to an inscription, he then ordered the
defeated rulers to carry back pots of sacred Ganges water on
their heads to fill the Chola-Ganga tank, a victory memorial.
Brihadishwara
Temple:It is 35 km North of Kumbakonam. It was built by
the Chola emperor Rajendra I. Later additions were made in the
15th century by the Nayaks. It was built as a replica of Thanjavur’s
Brihadishvara temple by his father Rajaraja I, the towered sanctum
of this granite Shiva temple is shorter than the one at Thanjavur.
It is indeed a great feat of engineering. All the more as the
construction, was done in such a way that the shadow of the
cupola never falls on the ground. he sanctum sanctorum has a
four meter high lingam with a circumference of 7 meters. The
inner walls of the temple have the many mudras (poses) of Bharatnatyam
(classical Indian dance) portrayed by dancing damsels. Perhaps
the sculptors did this as Shiva, the presiding deity is also
the God of Dance (Natraja).
