After decades, renovation work of the Anganaadeeswarar temple in Madavalam village near Tirupattur town began on Saturday.
Officials said that the ancient Shiva temple was around 600 years old, dating back to the Vijayanagara period. Decorated with paintings, the temple, maintained by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department, has its imprint of the era in its architecture, including ornate pillared mandapam, open pillared halls and the majestic tower (Rajagopuram).
