The
renowned Perur Patteeswara Swamy
Temple is situated on the
banks of the holy river Noyyal. Pilgrims come from far to pay homage to their
ancestors at this spot near the temple on the river bank. The belief is that
the mortal remains of the dead turn into white stones after about 144 days.
While the Perur Patteeswara
Swamy Temple
was built by the King Karikala Cholan, this temple's sanctum is the joint
effort of the Chola, Hoysala and Vijayanagara rulers during their
respective reigns.
The presiding deity is Shiva and the 'Swayambu
Lingam' is the idol worshipped here. The Perur Patteeswara
Swamy Temple's
greatest attraction is the 'Kanaka Sabha'. Built along the characteristic style
of Dravidian architecture, the Kanaka Sabha is a golden hall which is adorned
by a gold plated statue of Nataraja bestowing blessings upon the two sages -
Gowmuni and Pattimuni. The gopurams and pillars of the hall are bedecked with
exquisitely carved sculptures.
References extolling the importance of Perur Patteeswara
Swamy Temple
in earlier days can be found in the poetry written by Arunagiri Nather and
Kachiappa Munivar.
