Murals of late Nayak period on the ceiling of Devasiriya Mandapam in the third prahara of Sri Thyagarajaswamy Temple here, depicting the story of the monkey-faced Chola King Muchukunda, have been restored by the Prakiriti Foundation, Chennai.
Muchukunda is said to have brought Lord Thyagaraja from heaven to Tiruvarur.
According to Meera Krishnan of the Prakiriti Foundation, restoration of the Murals, which were in a dilapidated condition, was undertaken by the Prakiriti Foundation over the past three years.
Now the work has been completed and the Mandapam will be opened on January 26.
