Art &Architectural Significance of ThiruvattarAdikeshava Perumal Temple

Temples are the primary outward manifestation of the Hindu Religion. Many temples, from Kashmir in the North to Cape Comorin in the South, can be seen. A Hindu temple is a structure designed to bring human beings and gods together, using symbolism to express the ideas and beliefs of Hinduism. The temples of Travancore were not merely religious institutions but were organizations where economic, cultural and, to some extent, political activities were concentrated; Travancore is an embodiment of temples. Some of these temples are famous and are mentioned in the Puranas. Most temples in Travancore were founded centuries ago, and their genesis is lost in obscurity. The Temples of Sucherdram, Cape Comorin, Thiruvattar, Trivandrum, Varkala and Vaikom are some of the oldest temples in Travancore.
