COMPLEX CEILING ART:
Ceilings of various massive entrance door ways of the temple which will amaze you in every aspect (but many may miss to view them - as everyone will be saturated and exhausted after seeing the sculptural extravaganza inside the temple!)
Place : NINDRA NAMBI PERUMAL Temple, Thirukurungudi (45 km from Tirunelveli, TN) is one of the 108 Divya desam (Vaishnavite - Hindu temples that are sacred for Lord Vishnu) and most exquisitely carved temples of Tamilnadu,
Period : The inscriptions on the temple walls tell the early constructions date back to 10th century CE. But most of the present architecture and sculpture works were done by Vijayanagar Nayak rulers (15th-16th century CE).
