NATARAJA TEMPLE - The Nataraja temple is dedicated exclusively to the art of Bharatanatyam. It is among the rare temples where Shiva is depicted in the idol form instead of the usual lingam (phallus) form. Built during the later Chola era, the temple spreads over 40 acres. The large outer enclosure or Prakara adios decorated with four splendid seven-tiered gopurams, with finely sculpted icons depicting Hindu myths. The shrine of Nataraja is in the Chit Sabha. A black curtain covering the statue is lifted up thrice a day for worshipping. Neighboring the main shrine is the shrine of Lord Vishnu as Govindaraja. Two other shrines dedicated to Subramanya and Ganesha are also there. A remarkable structure within the complex is the Nritta Sabha, built in the form of a chariot. It has fifty-six pillars depicting dancing poses. The largest structure, the Raja Sabha is yet another attraction here. This thousand-pillared hall is 103 metres long and 58 metres wide. The structural pattern of temple has dance as a recurring theme. The east and the west gopurams have fine examples of 108 karnas (structured movements of dance) as listed in the Natya Shastra. The ceiling has four 26 metres long panels of the Nayak paintings beloning to 16th century. These paintings demonstrate the origin of the temple and the ideal lives of great saints.
