The sacred precincts of Tirumiyachchur contain two stone temples, one main shrine and other adjoining smaller temple or b?l?laya; both replace earlier structures. The main shrine is called Mayarcindesvara and the adjoining b?l?laya shrine is called Sakalabhuvanesvara. No inscriptions have so far been published. The date of the temple must therefore be determined on the basis of style. The main temple was probably erected in the last quarter of the tenth century during Sembiyan Mahadevi’s time. This suggestion is based on the general style of sculptures and the iconographic scheme. Reference: M.W. Meister and M.A. Dhaky, 1963, p. 192.
