The Perur
Patteeswara Swamy temple is the most popular temple in the city.
Built by the King Karikala Cholan, this temple is situated 7 kms
west of Coimbatore near river Noyyal. This sanctum is the
joint effort of the Chola, Hoysala and Vijayanagara rulers
during their reign. The greatest attraction of the temple is the
'Kanaka Saba' or the golden hall which is adorned by a gold
plated statue of Nataraja bestowing blessings upon the two sages
- Gowmuni and Pattimuni. The gopurams and pillars of the hall
are exquisitely carved out sculptures highlighting Dravidian
architecture. |
