Newly discovered inscriptions from Chola, Pandya and
Vijayanagara period add to the antique value of the
temple. The earliest inscriptions of the Coḹas in the
temple are recently discovered from the raised
platform in front of Śāstā shrine. Another interesting
inscription traced recently from the Śāstā shrine
refers to the period of Rājendra II (1044–1052 CE).
Two Sanskrit inscriptions of Sundarapāṇḍya (1251–
1271 CE) were discovered from the wall in front of
Śāstā shrine.

T THE NEW QUEUE SYSTEM
E
Faith in the divine benevolence of the Goddess brings
thousands to people to the temple everyday. On
special days, these numbers go up to 50000. In
order to provide a safe and comfortable waiting
experience to the devotees, we revamped the queue
system.
