Architectural history of the ancient ( Vijayalaya Choleeswaram ) temple . • " Vijayalaya Choleeswaram " in Narthamalai, a panchayat town in Pudukottai district in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is a temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Constructed in the Dravida style and rock cut architecture, the temple is believed to have been built during the 9th century by Muttaraiyar kings, the cardinals of Pallavas, with later expansion from the Cholas. The rock-cut architecture is an early example of Cholan Art, continuing the tradition of the Pallavas. The other portions of Narthamalai houses the 8th century Jaina Abode, the Aluruttimalai Jain Caves. There are also two rock-cut caves, one of which houses twelve life size sculptures of Vishnu. The temple is considered one of the oldest stone temples in South India. #pratheepvijay #pratheepvijayphotography #vijayalayacholeeswaram #temple #art #architecture #history #tamilnadu #narthamalai #historyoftamilnadu #shotoniphone #nature #godshiva #dravidastyle #rockcutarchitecture #muttaraiyar #pallavas #cholas #cholanart #culture #tradition #jainaabode #aluruttimalaijaincaves #cave #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #picoftheday #photooftheday #nofilter @natgeo @natgeoindia @natgeowild @natgeotravel @natgeoyourshot @natgeotravellerindia @natgeoadventure @natgeointhefield @natgeofineart @natgeoasia @natgeochannel @natgeoexpeditions @natgeo.la @natgeonl @natgeolatam @natgeoencounter @natgeodocs @animalsdoingthings @animalplanet @animalplanetindia @animalaid_india @animalhopeandwellness @discovery @discoverychannelin @discoveryplusindia @discover @discoveryla @grikart_macro @macro_delight @apple @instagram @wholelottabugs @insectguru @naturein_focus @nature_org @wildkarnataka @wildtakes @wildlifeplanet @world_wildlife @incredibleindia @bbcearth @earth @sonybbcearth @natural_history_museum @earthalliance @earthroamer @incredibleindia @macro_brilliance @nature @nature_brilliance @lonelyplanet @ourplanet @lightroom @kumudamonline @bbcwildlifemagazine @asiangeographic @naturesbestphotomagazine @discoverindia.magazine @wildlifeindia @zealwildlifecentral @fwdlife_magazine @climbingmagazine @lonelyplanetmagazine (at Narthamalai) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRPHyJvBgzY/?utm_medium=tumblr
