In the village of Tirumeyjnanam, there are two temples called Nalur and Tirumayanam. The Tirumayanam temple is now called the Jnanaparamesvarar temple. It has been dated in or before the second year of Aditya I (872 CE). This early Chola temple still retains its original features. References: S.R. Balasubrahmanyam, 1966, pp. 186 – 188, D.
