Kaladarshana - Ancient and Medieval Historical Indian Architecture and Art - Gingee

Singavaram
The 7th century Ranganatha Cave temple is carved into a hill at Singavaram, a few miles north of Gingee. The original Pallava shrine consists of an pillared hall and an image of Vishnu Anantasayini cut into the rock. The Nayakas and Rajputs who patronized this temple are responsible for later structural additions. The Nayaka mandapa seen in this picture is at the top of the hill.
