Chidambaram

The Nataraja temple has a pre-13th-century Surya shrine. The image is unusual as it depicts a three headed Surya same as 

  1. Brahma, 
  2. Shiva and 
  3. Vishnu, with eight hands holding iconographic items of these deities, along with two lotuses in a pair of hands in front, 
  4. accompanied by female figures 
    1. Usha and 
    2. Pratyusha, standing on a chariot drawn by seven horses and Aruna as charioteer.
