Karaikal Ammaiyar (born Punītavatī), meaning "The Revered Mother of Karaikal", is one of the three women amongst the 63 Nayanmars and one of the greatest figures of early Tamil literature. She was born in Karaikal, South India, and probably lived during the 5th century AD.[1] She was a devotee of Shiva.[2][3]
Karaikal was a maritime trading city in Chola Nadu. Ammaiyar, whose original name was Punitavati, was born to Dhanadattan in a merchant community known as Nattukottai Nagarathar (also known as Nattukottai Chettiar).[4][5][6] She was married to Paramadattan, a wealthy merchant from Nagapattinam.
Ammaiyar Image in CambodiaEdit
Banteay Srei or Banteay Srey (Khmer: បន្ទាយស្រី[ɓɑntiəjsrəj]) is a 10th-century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Located in the area of Angkor, it lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km (16 mi) north-east of the main group of temples that once belonged to the medieval capitals of Yasodharapura and Angkor Thom.[7]
The second enclosureEdit
The second enclosure
The combat between Vāli and Sugrīva is depicted on the western gopura.
Śiva Nāṭarāja is depicted on the eastern gopura of the inner enclosure wall.
The inner enclosure wall has collapsed, leaving a gopura at the eastern end and a brick shrine at the western. The eastern pediment of the gopura shows Śiva Nataraja; the west-facing pediment has an image of Karaikal Ammaiyar, one of the three women saints amongst the sixty three Nayanmars (hounds of Śiva).[8]
