Venkundram

Pārśvanātha Temple

The Pārśvanātha Temple at Venkundram has one open, one semi-open and two closed halls, which have been axially arranged, one behind the other. A shallow vestibule (antarāla) section further elongates the axis of approach to the main icon (mūla-nāyaka). The superstructure (vimāna) of the Pārśvanātha Temple bears multiple figures made of plaster. The temple has a further side chapel to the north, entered from within its second hall. This is dedicated to Kuṣamāṇḍinī Devī.
