Thiru Vellarai, the reputed Swethagiri kshetra with its unique architecture is all the more pronounced in its natural surroundings wrapped in puranic lore. Topped by ruins and having connections with Lord Vishnu this ancient temple dominating the landscape is acclaimed for its massiveness and elegance. The huge temple with its beautiful elevation is an excellent example of synthesized art and architecture of several dynasties.
Various qualities are blended in these temples like harmony, simplicity and piety. The fusion of many styles are emphasized more than mere religious aspects. One remarkable feature of the monumental architecture is the synthesis of various styles ultimately evolving into a local style.
