Thank you Sriman Varadarajan !
 
In the old days , many villages had one Siva Temple and one VishNu temple.
For instance in my village , there is the famous Oppiliappan Sannidhi and near by is the Raahu KshEtram of ThirunAgEswaram known for the Lingam consecrated by SekkhizhAr , who wrote the Periya PurANam extolling NaayanmArs. 
 
Right next to AarAvamudhan Sannidhi is the Yezhai SomanAthar Sannidhi . At one time , they were interconnected . Over time , Sivan Koil became poor ( yEzhai). Chidambharam and
ThirucchittirakUtam ( Lord GovindarAjan's sannidhi) is another example of the temples
for Siva and VishNu with different entry points . 
 
Similar is the situation with ThirukkadayUr , where AbhirAmi Bhattar made the Sivan Koil famous
and many perform  Mrutyanjaya Homam there . Unfortunately the VishNu temple fell into disuse .
Hope some one near Mayavaram ( MayilAduthurai) and KumbaKONam can help rebuild the
sanctums atleast .

Hello Sadagopan Swamin,
 
This article about this koil in thiru kadayur and in ruins is heart wrenching. May be you would like to read it and if you deem it fit, circulate among the group. >From your group mails I know somebody is looking at the needs of Perumal koils.For your information.
 
Dasan Ramesh
