Hello my dear brethren, my humble greeting to one and all.About myself, hmm..... I am Dr Viswanathan Periaswamy. I am basically a Clinical Pathologist and work as a professor of pathology in a reputed medical college in chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, India.
My Interests are visiting various temples and researching about them. Also i have a special interest on Chola temples and architecture.
Here is one of my visits and a detailed description about the inscriptions and figurines in the temple.

ARJUNA WAS MEDITATING IN YEGAPATHASNA
POSITION ( STANDING IN ONE LEG ) TO OBTAIN THE
PASUPATHASTHRA . HE WAS DISTURBED BY A WILD
BOAR AT THAT TIME , SO HE USES HIS BOW AND
ARROW TO KILL IT. HE WENT NEAR THE BOAR AND
SAW TWO ARROWS IN IT.
FURTHER ARJUNA SAW A HUNTING COUPLE
WITH DOGS COMING THERE . THERE WAS A
QUARREL BETWEEN HIM AND THE COUPLE
WHICH ENDED UP IN FIGHT . ARJUNA WAS
DEFEATED IN THE FIGHT . HE TELLS ONLY THREE
PERSONS CAN DEFEAT HIM AND THEY ARE
DRONACHARYA ,BEESHMAR AND LORD SHIVA
HE KNOWS THAT IT IS NOT DRONACHARYA OR
BEESHMAR , HE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE PERSON IS
LORD SHIVA . HE STARTS TO WORSHIP HIM IN
NAMASKKARAMUTHIRAI .AFTER SEEING ALL THESE,
CONSORT UMA TELLS LORD SHIVA TO GIVE THE
PASUPATHASTHRA TO ARJUNA . SO FINALLY
ARJUNA GETS THE PASUPATHASTHRA.
