The main Gopuram of Trivikrama temple at Thirukovalur.
The entrance into the main Gopuram.Those school kids returning home look so tiny at front of this massive and tall structure.This Gopuram is the second highest Gopuram in Tamilnadu.

The view of main Gopuram from inside.To the left where aluminium vessels are spread , a building has come up , blatantly occupying the space in and around the ancient structure .
The view of inner Gopuram leading directly into the temple.
The entrance of the temple.
Entering the temple gates .The Dwajasthambam or flag pole is right in the front.
The view of Vimanam behind the Dwajastambam is blinded by a shaft of light.
The view of front gopuram as well as the view of Thayar's gopuram slightly visible at the right side ,from the entry into circumbulatory passage of Trivikrama.
The Lakshmi Narayana sanidhi in the circumbulatory passage on the right side of Moolavar.The back Gopuram is in the backdrop.
The view of inner face of front Gopuram from LakshmiNarayana sannidhi.
The Varahar sannidhi.It is right behind Lakshmi Narayana sannidhi on the circumbulatory passage ,behind the main deity.
The Narsimhar and Andal sanidhis that are on the left side of Moolavar on the circumbulatory passage around the deity at the back.
