Sri Muchukundeswara Temple, Kodumbalur, TN....
This temple was built by Mahimalaya Irukkuvel, chief of Kodumbalur, in 920 CE during 4th year of the reign of Chola king Parantaka I. This east facing temple was repaired and extended in 13th century when a maha-mandapa and a Devi shrine was added to the complex. The temple is built in parivara style. Out of seven sub-shrines only the remains of four can be seen.
Here Shiva is holding a veena hence he is portrayed as Veenadhara-Dakshinamurti.
