Kodumbalur Moovar Koil மூவர் கோயில், கொடும்பாளூர்

            Moovar Koil or "The Three temples" is a Hindu temple complex situated in the village of Kodumbalur, 36 kilometers from Pudukkottai in Tamil Nadu, India. These temples are believed to have been constructed by a 10th-century Chola general Boothi Vikrama Kesari. Only two of the three temples have managed to survive. The place was ruled by Irukku Velir chieftains. Kodumbalur was also the site of a fierce battle between the Pandyas and the Pallavas.
The Muvar-koil (‘temple-of-three’) is a beautiful temple of Chozha period, built by the Irukkuvel chief Bhuthi-vikrama-kesari. As per a foundation inscription on south wall of the north-most temple, he built these three Siva shrines, one on his own behalf and, the other two on behalf of his wives, Karrali and Varaguna.
The first impression about Muvar-koil is one of enchanting beauty, perfect composition in stone. The poise of the Vimanam, the beauty of the supple figures that have been modelled with loving care and the refined contours of the domical terrace edgings, all indicate the Pallava style for delicacy of structure and form.
It is considered as role model of Chola temples.
