Amman Shrine, Gangaikondacholapuram

Around the Brihadeeswara Temple of Gangaikondacholapuram there are many shrines which are built around the same time as the main temple  in 1020-1029. One of them is Amman Shrine. 



A closer look at the temple tower showcases exceptional craftsmanship. One can also see the Nandi being carved at each corner of the tower.



The exterior of the temple is beautifully carved with various sculptures of Hindu God and Goddess.


Here Nataraja in the middle and Ganesh have been carved beautifully.
