Irungovel and Hoysalas were the same or one is the descendant of the other?
It may be noted that both the Velirs and the Hoyasals were at war with the Cholas initially.
One must remember tat there were no linguistic divisions of India.
5.This Irungovel might have been around by 1800 BC .
The temple has Subrahmnaya with five faces and eight hands and is considered as Shiva.
The Murthy is called Krauncha Vedamurthy, the epithet applies to Subrahmanya/Shiva.
Another speciality is that there is no Sanctum for Devi!
As Prasad, the sand from the place considered to be the remains of the Homa Kunda Fire raised by Bhogar.
