Temples of Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu has thousands of temples that touch the skyline. From the early years, the Tamils have been great architects and builders. The ancient rulers of Pallava, Cholas and Pandya dynasties have contributed a lot towards the building of monuments across Tamil Nadu. Most of the temples in Tamil Nadu were built out of rocks and stones. The Tamil temples are very famous for their large mandapams (halls) and gopurams (Towers).  Some of them have gold plated tower heads. The inscriptions found on the Dravidian temples throws light into the history of all the rules of this temple state.
