She brought the attention of Surya towards a beautiful age-old sculpture kept at a showcase. Surya had not noticed it as he entered the house. As he went near it, he felt nostalgic as it was similar to the one, he had seen often around the temple in his native place Tiruvidaimarudur at Tamil Nadu.
Be it the Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai, Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangam, or Kapaleeshwarar Temple in Mylapore, these temples house particular deities with specific customs and mythological significance unique to them. Some 1000 years old temple in Tamil Nadu such as Kumbeswarar Temple in Kumbakonam and Brihadeeswarar Temple in Thanjavur has stood the test of time becoming the architectural marvels of the country. Tamil Nadu has been ruled by Pallavas, Pandyas, Cholas, Vijaynagar kings, and Nayakas and this has contributed significantly to the variations in the structural patterns of the temples.
