Tamil Nadu has in its Ancient Temples, rare / beautiful Sculptures and Architectures. It evokes distress to find that most of them are in dilapidated conditions and on the verge of disappearance and ruination.
INTRODUCTION: SRI SUNDARESWARAR NARPANI MANRAM was formed to renovate neglected Temples in this Village. Already TWO Dilapidated / Ancient Temples - Sri Sundareswarar Temple and Sri Venkatesa Perumal Temple - (all more than 500 hundred years old) have been taken up for renovation WITH THE HELP OF GENEROUS DONATIONS FROM DEVOTEES, utilizing the physical help of local villagers and under the supervision of our Renovation Group.
RENOVATION ACTIVITIES: In all these ruined temples, huge bushes and deep roots have been cleared. The cracks on the Temples' Structures / Roof fixed. The Sculptures, Murals and the Images restored. We involved local residents to perform KUMBABHISHEKAMS for these Temples and also for future upkeep.
RENOVATION FOR THE FOLLOWING THIRD TEMPLE IS BEING TAKEN UP BY THIS NARPANI MANRAM.

STHALAPURANAM - A SHORT VERSION - IN ENGLISH
The famous Pandiya King of Madurai, built Sri Siva Temples in various villages in Chola Kingdom, including Neikuppai Village. The same Neikuppai Village stood doubly blessed when Raja Raja Cholan-II of Chola Dynasty, built this Temple, dedicated to Choleeswarar in memory of the Great Raja Raja Cholan-I, whose sculpture in a praying posture, stands as a witness even today.
This Temple, proclaiming the greatness and dedication of the Chola Kings, is 800 years old, and the NARPANI MANRAM has taken up the work of renovation removing the bushes growth and restoring it to its ancient glory.
