  • Nagaraja Temple is an early large temple found in the city of Nagercoil (Nagarkōyil) near the southern tip of Tamil Nadu, India. Its dating is uncertain but likely pre-12th-century. The main sanctum is dedicated to the Nagaraja – the king of serpents. Padmanabham (1985), Heritage Of The Tamils Temple Arts, Editors: SV Subramanian and G Rajendran, International Institute of Tamil Studies, Since the 17th-century, new Hindu shrines have been added to the temple complex attracting devotees of Krishna (Vishnu), as well as Shaiva and Shakti Hindus. The original iconography of the Tirthankaras and Padmavati Devi have and continue to remain a part of the sacred pantheon close to the temple's main sanctum. The temple has three shrines. The oldest and the main shrine's deity remains the original Nagaraja. The second shrine is dedicated to Ananthakrishna (baby Krishna dancing on a coiled snake) with Rukmini and Satyabhama. The third shrine is dedicated to Shiva. The mandapa includes six icons of Tirthankaras and a goddess such as Parsvanatha and Padmavati Devi with rare, non-standard emblems (all lions). It also includes those of Hindu deities such as Subrahmanya Swami, Ganesha and Devi Bhagavati. (en)
  • Нагараджа - это старый большой храм, найденный в городе Нагеркойл (Нагаркойил) недалеко от южной оконечности Тамилнада, Индия. Его датировка неопределенна, но, скорее всего, храм был построен до XII века. Главное святилище посвящено Нагарадже – царю змей. С 17 века в храмовый комплекс были добавлены новые индуистские святыни, привлекающие кришнаитов, шиваитов и шактов. Оригинальная иконография Тиртханкар и Падмавати Деви была и остается частью священного пантеона рядом с главным святилищем храма. В храме есть три святыни. Божеством самого старого и главного святилища остается Нагараджа. Второе святилище посвящено Анантакришне (младенцу Кришне, танцующему на свернувшейся змее) с Рукмини и Сатьябхамой. Третье святилище посвящено Шиве. Внутри Мандапы находятся шесть икон Тиртханкаров и таких богинь, как Парсванатха и Падмавати Деви, с редкими, нестандартными эмблемами (все львы). Также там есть изображения индуистских божеств, например, Субраманья Свами, Ганеша и Деви Бхагавати. (ru)
