Beautiful vigraham of Kankala murti at Shri Vasishteswarar/Karunaswamy thirukovil, Karanthai near Tanjavur.
One of the 64 forms of Mahadeva, Kankala murti is the dissolver of the universe, and the bones he carries represent destruction.

As the sea receded around 50 m near Tiruchendur Shri Subrahmanya swamy temple, a murti most likely Isakki Amman was found in the reef yesterday.
Isakki Amman is a native goddess of rural TN who is mainly worshipped for protection and fertility.
Tirukurungudi temple's Gopuram is a magnum opus of sculptures.
One can spend at least 3 hours photographing each sculpture!
Most of them are exotic and unique.
The first picture shows the place where the sculpture of four wrestlers is found. (See the arrow)
The second picture is the close up shot with which I made the GIF to show them in different colors!
