The vast temple in this town, known as “Dakshina Kailasam” (Southern abode of Siva), built in an area of approximately 60,000 square meters, has five prakaram (outer precincts used for religious purposes) and many ‘mandapams’ (great halls). Several inscriptions in the temple affiliates the temple to the Cholas, Pandyas, and other rulers. Karikala Chola, Rajaraja the Great, Jatavarman Sundara Pandyan, and Krishna Devarayar are associated with Thiruvaiyaru. The temple has two distinct divisions called ‘Uttarakailasam’ and ‘Dakshinakailasam’. Uttarakailasam was built by Rajaraja Chola’s chief queen Dantisaktivitanki alias Lokamahadevi in the late 10th century who also made several endowments.[1] It was called Lokamahadevi Isvaram Udaiyar Mahadevar after the queen herself.[2] She endowed several musical instruments during the time of Rajaraja while his daughter Gangamahadevi alias Arumoli Chandramalli gifted several fly-whisks to the presiding deity.[3] Dakshina kailasam was renovated by Rajendra Cholan’s queen. The Tevaram trinity (Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar) have composed more than 100 songs on the presiding deity of this temple town. The town is called as “Ai-aaru” (ஐயாறு), meaning five rivers, by them.
