Tirusulanathar Temple

Take the opposite road to Airport and cross the electric train gate, drive about 2 kms.. And you will land up in this 1200 year chola temple -

 
 
 
Things to see and note in this temple - The Gaja Brishtam chola architecture of the inner sanctum, huge shivalingam with Soundarvalli ambal doing siva pooja, and outside there is one more sannidhanam for Tripurasundari amman.
 
 
 
Unique Deva Koshtam on the inner wall - Naga Yagnopaveedha Ganapathi (one who wears snake as his poonal), Dakshinamoorthy in Veerasana posture, Lingotbhavar, an amazing standing Brahma and Vishnu Durgai.. Sthala Vruksham is "Mara Malli" - looks like a small plant next to the huge arasa maram..
