Umai @ Tudaiyur Visamangalesvara Tempe- Trichirapalli

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.
