“It is one of the greatest structures built by the kings of the Eastern Ganga dynasty,” university Vice-Chancellor T.V. Kattimani told The Hindu on Tuesday.
Dr. Kattimani had interacted with the temple chief priest Naidugari Rajasekhar during his recent visit to the place of worship.
Mr. Rajasekhar, who recently requested the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to strive to get World Heritage Status for the Lord Shiva temple, also presented a book he authored to Dr. Kattimani.
“We are thankful to the universty authorities for planning to do a research into the temple. We will provide all details for the purpose,” said Mr. Rajasekhar.
Ambassador of Finland to India Kimmo Lähdevirta on Tuesday said Finnish companies “face issues” in Tamil Nadu due to regulations that prevent their participation in tendering processes. Interacting with senior journalists of The Hindu at its head office in Chennai, he said certain regulations imposed by the State government were limiting.
