A WELL KNOWN ROCKCUT TEMPLE IN TAMILNADU

There is  also a deity of Satyagirinathan in a  reclining posture surroundded by Garuda, Markandeya and Brahma in a rockcut temple closeby. It is believed that Adisesha  emitted poisonous fumes to frighten the Demons who tried to steal the image of the Lord at this Kshetram.
