The Tamil epic Silappadikarama, written by Ilangao Adigal, brother of the Chera king mentions this temple and also details the Thiruvananthapuram temple. However the temple and the city has been dated to around late first century BC. What is now Kerala was a part of Tamil Chera Kingdom.Ĭhera kings also enriches the temple and this dynasty goes back to thousands of years.
This temple is referred to in the Puranas and Tamil Classics of the Sangam era.
The temple has also been one of the richest temple in India, where billions worth of gold and ornaments have been found sealed in an underground vault and the court had appointed a committee to evaluate the riches. The Ananta Padmanabhaswamy temple at Thiruvananthapuram,Kerala is one such ancient temple where the presiding deity is Lord Vishnu in his form as the Infinite one in yoga Nidra. There are many more and I shall be writing about them. There are some more ancient temples like the Pundarikaksha Temple,Thiruvellarai, near Sriranagam and Srirangamtemple Tamil Nadu. The Thiruvannamalai temple,Tamil Nadu is dated 3.94 Billion years,Tirupati 2100 million years and Jwalapuram, Cuddapah,Telengana, India is 74,000 years old………. Please check my articles on 5000 years old temples of India. Some of them have been assigned dates before Christ,BC,though reluctantly despite strong evidence that they belong to much earlier times. There are quite a few ancient temples of India which are in good shape.
