I haven't seen any Ulagalanda Perumal temple in TN . The vimanam of the temple is typical of a Vishnu temple. I have seen a similar one in Sivakasi.
ReplyDeleteThe pond with reflection is awesome.
I liked the reflections too..But I wonder how beautiful it would have been in the early days of this temple when there would probably have been trees around this tank than those flats that are appearing around it now.
