Umasahita on the west wall devakostha vimana @ Tudaiyur Visamangalesvara temple.

Tudaiyur Visamangalesvara temple now renamed or called as Kadambavana Visamangalesvara temple.

The earliest inscription on the Visamangalesvara temple (situated some eight miles from Tiruchirapalli on the way to musuri - namakkal route) is of the fifth year of RAJAKESARIVARAMA, who seems to be GANDARADITYA. It shares a few important decorative motifs (on the galapada panels) with those on Tiruverumbur temple.The year A.D.955 inferred from this inscription seems a plausible date for the temple.The vimana is c. 21 ft. in width. The galapadas of kantha, both of the Padabanda adhisthana and of vedi,display many interesting reliefs.
