Rock Fort Temple

(admission ?3, camera/video ?20/100; 6am-8pm) The Rock Fort Temple, perched 83m high on a
massive outcrop, lords over Trichy with stony arrogance. The ancient rock was first hewn
by the Pallavas and Pandyas, who cut small cave temples on its south side, but it was the
war-savvy Nayaks who later made strategic use of the naturally fortified position. There
are over 400 stone-cut steps to climb to the top. From NSB Rd on the south side, you pass
between small shops and cross a street before entering the temple precinct proper. Then
it's 180 steps up to the Thayumanaswamy Temple (Swami Amman Sannathi) on the left
HINDU TEMPLE
