Description: | Photograph of the façade of the double-storeyed colonnade of the temple enclosure of the Shiva Temple at Tiruvadi, taken by Alexander Rea around 1890 as part of the Archaeological Survey of India Collections: Indian Museum Series (Duplicates). A gopura is visible in the background. This great Shiva temple, known as Dakshina Kailasam, covers an area of fifteen acres and consists of five enclosures or prakarams and a seven-tiered tower or Rajagopuram. Many inscriptions were found in the temple, which relate it to rulers of the Chola, Pandya and other dynasties. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Rea, Alexander | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
