Summary

Description
English: Perungudi, Agastyesvara temple, Trichirapalli.

Perungudi, Agastyesvara Temple.

 The earliest inscription , on the north wall of the temple, registers a gift in the third year of Parakesarivarma, who "took the head" of Vira pandya (Aditya II).Systically, the temple seems no earlier than this date of A.D. 963.
The temple is ekatala with Padabandha adhisthana.The vimana has an undifferentiated wall, ornamented with Brahmakanta Pilasters, some of whose decorative patterns have been done in a style reminiscent of Parantaka's times. Dakshinamurti (south),Ardhanari(west), and Brahma (north) occupy the devakosthas.The circular griva contains Dakshinamurti (south), two armed seated Vishnu (west) and Brahma(north). Butamala is found underneath the prastara-kapota,while hasamala is found underneath the edge of the sikhara.The lower rim of the sikhara is in stone, but the main mass is in the brick and may be later.Aditya II's reign was part of Sundara Cola's reign, and was as baren artistically as that of his Father.
