The temple itself is located in the center of the town. Total area of the temple is about 51 (according to [1] – 55) acres. At the feet of the Chidambaram Nataraja. Spread over an area of 40 acres in the heart of the city, a visit to the Chidambaram Siva temple is an overwhelming experience.
From the eastern entrance the temple tower seems like a pair of joined arms raised towards the vastness of the sky. Each story of the tower bears the sculptural marvels of the histrionic mudras (gestures) of Bharathan's Natyasastra. Countless characters from the legends come alive on the walls of this tower. However, it is the eastern entrance that attracts the crowds. The flower sellers' cries of 'buy two yards of flower garlands, one for Nataraja and one for Sivakami Devi' rent the air.

The greatest damage to the temple was done in 1836 CE, when the lower Anaicut dam was erected across the Kollidam river, about seven miles from the temple. For the supply of stones for the construction, the local PWD (Public Works Department) pulled down the enclosure walls, the dilapidated gopura, the front and great mandapa and carried away the stones.

Chetinnad. Indian Road Trip – A la découverte du Tamil Nadu [part. 2] Nous continuons donc notre voyage sur les routes du Tamil Nadu, à la découverte de ses temples très nombreux et hauts en couleurs. Nous nous étions quitté sur la route entre le fort Gingee et Tiruvannamalai, une ville qui m’a fortement marqué…je ne saurais dire pourquoi d’ailleurs, mais j’en garde un souvenir très fort. A Tiruvannamalai, pas grand chose à voir si ce n’est le temple Arunachaleswarar et l’ashram Seshardi. Le temple d’Arunachaleswarar se trouve au centre de la ville et très clairement, il est le lieu de vie… à l’entrée, cela grouille de monde, de vendeurs de fleurs et offrandes ou de souvenirs en tous genres. Le temple est dédié à Shiva, plus précisément à l’élément du feu. Son gopuram est impressionnant – il fait plus de 60 mètres de haut, et à l’intérieur la salle avec 1000 colonnes est à couper le souffle. Par contre, après une journée à marcher pieds nus un peu partout… le résultat n’était pas joli joli!

Une ville à découvrir, comme une mise en bouche de la culture tamoule. La ville a été le siège du pouvoir de nombreux royaumes de l’Inde du sud à travers les âges : Pallavas, Cheras, Cholas et Pandyas, pour ne citer qu’eux. L’histoire documentée de la ville commence à l’époque coloniale, lorsque les Britanniques s’installent à Fort Saint George en 1644. Madras est par la suite le théâtre de la bataille entre les forces coloniales britanniques et françaises pour l’administration de la ville. Tiruchirappalli (Trichy) - MAGIK INDIA.
