Sivalokanatha temple, Gramam,Tamil NaduThe Shivalokanatha temple was originally called Tirumundisvaram in the period of the Tamil saint Appar and Mouli-gramama in the days of Prantaka I (907 - 954 CE) but now is simply called Gramam. The old Siva temple was rebuilt by Vellangumaran, a Keralite general of Rajaditya – in Parantaka I’s thirty-sixth regnal year – 943 CE. Gramam was the headquarters of Rajaditya who maintained an army there against a threat from the Rashtrakutas. Earlier inscriptions, ranging from the twenty-third to the twenty-ninth year of Parantaka seems to have been re-engraved. Architecturally this temple does not show any advance on the temples if the reign of Aditya or those of the earlier part of Parantaka I's reign. References: D. Barrett, 1973, pp. 76-77, S.R.
