Sivayoginathar Temple, Thiruvisanallur (Thanjavur Dist.), Tamil Nadu
Copyright Raju's Temple Visits@flickr

The history of Thiruvisanallur can be traced to the time of the Medieval Cholas who established the village as Vembarur or Solamarthanda chaturvedimangalam. There are inscriptions dating to the time of Raja Raja Chola I.

The Thanjavur Maratha king Shahuji I endowed Thiruvisanallur to forty-six Brahmins as a brahmadeya in the year 1695. Following this endowment, the name of the village was changed to Shahajirajapuram. At about this time, a Hindu saint by name Sridhara Venkatesa Ayyaval a companion of the Shankaracharya Bodhendra Saraswathi settled down in Thiruvisanallur and founded the Sri Sridhara Ayyaval Mutt.

Lakshminarayan Temple, Sindhaghatta, Karnataka
Copyright Team g square

This was originally a Hoysala temple built during the 14th century. However, it appears to have been renovated or repaired much later in a far less elaborate manner. The jagati (platform) clearly shows intricate Hoysala style, as well as the interiors. However, the shikhara and mandapa seem to be later additions.

The 108 Divya Desams are abodes of Vishnu, not Lord Shiva
