Muvar Koil

The site derives its name from the Tamil phrase for "The Three temples." This temple-complex originally consisted of three identical shrines built in a row all facing west. In front of the trio, was a maha-mandapa, a vrsha-mandapa and a gopura and surrounding the main shrines are sixteen shrines for the subsidiary deities. Of these, the central and the southern shrines are preserved in full and rest of the structures along with the enclosing boundary wall are preserved only on plan.

A Sanskrit inscription on the central vimana clearly asserts that Bhuti Vikramakesari, an Irukkuvel chief built the three shrines. He named the central shrine after himself and the two flanking ones after his queens viz. Karrali and Varaguna.
