“Aayiram Kaal Mandapam tells the heritage, culture, and history through statues and pillars. The mandapam has 1,000 pillars, each carved with unique designs of Indian gods and goddesses. The pillars are arranged in ranks that some say are precise and perfect. The mandapam has a large statue of Natarajar, the Indian god of dance. Every mammoth-sized pillar showcases glorious Dravidian sculptures, intricately carved from a single granite block. These depict fierce horsemen trampling rampant tigers on rearing horses. The pillars also feature detailed representations of Lord Vishnu's 12 incarnations. Aayiram Kaal Mandapam is not just a powerful supporting structure but also a marvel of Indian architecture. It stands as one of the most revered and visited sites.”
