The Nataraja Temple, Chidambram Overview
One of the five Panchbootha Sthala, the Nataraja Temple is a place of deep religious importance for the Hindus. Spread across a sprawling 40 acres complex, the Lord Nataraja Temple situated in the heart of the city is one of the most beautiful examples of the genius of Chola architecture.
The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of only five places where he is represented as an idol instead of a lingam. The temple is an architectural treasure trove giving insights into the Dravidian culture that prevailed during the times of the Cholas.
