   Six hundred   years before  Tajmahal was  built  by Shahjahan, A chozha king  Rajendran built  a memorial to his   step mother  “Pancha Maha dev Iswaram  i”(Pancha maha devi palli padai kovil –temple  of  the memorial  of  Pancha maha devi)  .The temple is now in a dilapidated    condition .It is near  a small village   called  Patteswaram .Interstingly Raja  Raja handed over his kingdom to his son, built  a  small palace(called Chozhar  Maligai)    and spent his  life there  looking at  the memorial  he has built  .A very detailed  write up about this temple   along with lots of photos  is available in
