Mudali Pillai Mandapam



Next to this tower ,is the Mudali Pillai Mandapam.This is also called Mudali Mandapam and dark Mandapam.It is 60 feet broad.It was built in 1963 byKadandhai Mudaliar.

On both sides of this Mandapam,there are pillars with beautiful statues of women. A Legendary story is related about these women.Once the wives of the saints of Tharuga forest fell in love with Lord Siva when He appeared before them in the form of BIKSHADANAR(begger).They were so enamoured with love that they stood spell bound by the Lord's be witching  beauty and grace.

In such a gratitude they did not even notice the slipping of the clothes from their waists.The sculpture  has showed  a superb skill in making these statues .The statue of Lord Bikshadanar also exhibits the inordinate efficiency of the artist.There is a statue of a saint of  the Tharuga forest.There is also a statue of Mohini (the Lady who throws charm).The idols of Ganesha and Subramania also find a place in this mandapam.

The mudali mandapam cannot now be termed Dark mandapam .During the Temple Renovation in in 1963.Windows have been built on the northern wall of mandapam.These windows provide  a free flow of air and light.
