Vaikuntha Perumal Temple |
|
Built shortly after the Kailasanatha Temple at the end of the eighth century, the smaller Vaikuntha Perumal Temple, is dedicated to Vishnu. Its lofty carved vimana crowns three shrines containing images of Vishnu. Unusual scenes carved in the walls enclosing the temple yard depict events central to Pallava history, among them coronations, court gatherings and battles with the Chalukyas who ruled the regions to the northwest. |
