Dhenupureeswarar Temple History

The temple was built during the reign of the Chola king, Parantaka Chola II, father of Raja Raja Chola I, who constructed the famous Brihadeeswarar Temple in Thanjavur. The main sanctum (Sanskrit: garbha griha), like some other Chola temples in and around Chennai, is apsidal in shape (Sanskrit: gajaprishta vimana) (also described as shaped like the back of a sleeping elephant), unlike most Hindu shrines, which are square or rectangular. The temple is thought to have been consolidated with stones during the reign of Kulothunga Chola I. Well-preserved Chola sculptures and carved pillar bases are present in and around both sanctums. A number of fine inscriptions and sculptures dating to the Vijayanagara Empire are also preserved.
