The builder of the temple complex is the Tamil king Raja Chola in the year 1002 from the Chola dynasty who ruled there for centuries. According to the historian the site was built upon an order given to the king in his dream from an unknown source.

The building style of the temple is somehow based on a special geometrical system and is according to the ancient writtens. It has columns with more than one faces along with square capitals.

The temple truly reflects the wealthiest nature of the royal family. The temple had been used for many religious ceremonies from the first day of its making till now. Only one item had been used in the construction which is fine granite and the temple is the first to be built by the granite.
