Patonised by different ruling
dynasties, the temple art touched its zenith in Tamil Nadu. Monuments of
great artistic value, these temples speak of the greatness of the bygone
era. Most of the ancient temples were built of mortar and brick and were
scooped out of rocks. Rameshwaram, Thanjavur, Mahabalipuram, Kanchipuram,
Chidambaram, Meenakshi Temple, and Ekambareswarar Temple are some of the
famous temples of Tamil Nadu.
