About the Book
The heart of this book lies in a temple built in the Tamil-speaking South during the late 9th or early 10th century CE, located at Tiruccennampunti, near Trichy. Now abandoned, this temple is one of the earliest known Saiva temples from the Cola period. The shrine, dedicated to Siva as the great god of Tirukkataimuti, stands as an important testament to early Tamil Saiva devotion.
The book delves into the historical and religious significance of this temple, using evidence gathered to show how the shrine honors a deity praised in the Tevaram (7th-9th centuries), a collection of Tamil Saiva hymns. These hymns represent the earliest surviving expressions of Tamil Saiva worship, and the temple itself is a key symbol of the vibrant religious practices during the Cola period.
