The Uttamadanisvara temple at Kilattanaiyam is built by Muttaraiyar Uttamadani. Although no inscription of his alias Ko-Ilango is found here, a Rajakesarivarma inscription attributable to Rajaraja Chola (985 – 1010 CE) or perhaps to Chola Gandaraditya (949 – 957 CE) is found here, that refers to the temple Uttamadanisvara. The temple’s architecture and extant sculpture are earlier than this inscription. The temple should be placed in the third quarter of the ninth century or early tenth century. Reference: M.W. Meister and M.A. Dhaky 1963, pp. 142-143.

By its style the Uttamadanisvara temple at Kiranur is a Muttaraiyar foundation. An inscription of the thirteenth year of Ko-Ilango Muttaraiyar calls the temple Uttamadanisvara, after Ko-Ilango’s alias of Uttamadani. Ko-Ilango Muttaraiyar could be the same person as Ilango Adiaraiyan alias Cattan Pudi, the builder of Vijayalaya-Colisvara. If this is indeed true then the temple belongs to the second quarter of the ninth century CE. No Chola donator inscriptions are found on this temple. Reference: M.W. Meister and M.A. Dhaky 1963, pp. 141-142.

Also known as Vada Kailasam (the place of five rivers), the Uttara Kailasa temple of the Pancanadisvara complex was built by Rajaraja I's (985 – 1014 CE) senior queen Danti Sakti Vitanki alias Loga Mahadevi in about 1006 CE. This temple is significant for it bears an inscription from the reign of Rajadhiraja I (1018-1054 CE), which gives a complete narration of the wars and the victories of the Chola king elucidating contemporary political events and the extent of the empire.

The Vadapurisvara temple at Tiruvedikudi is one of the seven temples of the ‘Saptasthana Kshetras’ of the Tiruvaiyaru group. This temple is sung by Appar and Sambandar. The deity is said to have been worshipped by the Vedas. The temple has only about six inscriptions on its walls that can be ascribed to Aditya I owing to the archaic script in which they are written. The two-storied (dvitala) structure has original images of Durga, Brahma and Ardhanari in their divinity niches (devakoshtas). Reference: S.R. Balasubrahmanyam, 1966, pp.156-157.

The Vaikunthavasa Perumal temple at Kiliyanur can be dated to the third year of Nandivarman III (838 CE) by an inscription on the kumuda of the superstructure’s base (vimana’s adhisthana), which calls the temple Tikaittiral-Visnugrham of Kilinelur, after the name of its founder. The original structure is mostly gone, only the granite base of the main structure being extant. The parts later have been rebuilt in much later times. The only other Pallava remnant is a four-pillared hall (mandapa) built in front of the main temple. Reference: M.W. Mesister and M.A. Dhaky 1963, p. 100, S.R. Balasubrahmanyam, 1966, pp.78-79.

Four inscriptions on the Valikandesvaram temple at Valikandapuram have been found that have been attributed to Aditya I (871 - 907 CE) and Parantaka I (907 - 954 CE) by different scholars. The earliest incontrovertible inscriptions are between the fourth and fortieth years of Parantaka I. The temple was perhaps rebuilt in stone in Parantaka I's time maybe as early as his fourth regnal year that is in 911 CE. Reference: M.W. Mesister and M.A. Dhaky 1963, p. 174.
