The Tyagarajasvami Temple in Tiruvarur, a major historic site in the heart of the Tamil country, has preserved among its many treasures a set of ceiling paintings from the 17th century.

They also offer tantalizing glimpses of daily life, material culture, flora and fauna, temple architecture and ritual performance from this period. ,
