Legends and Architecture vie with one another in India, especially in Temple.

There is an ancient temple near Myiladuthurai, where The Lord Shiva‘s Idol changes its colors five times a day coinciding with the Kala Pooja, the poojas conducted at fixed hours daily.

Located near Valangaiman/Papanasam near Mayuram,Kalyanasundareswarars?Pancha Varneswarar temple,The Self born idol of Lord Shiva changes colors Five times a Day during the day.
