The construction of the Chola Kings is an example of this, many Chola Kings have supported the shrine at all times in the 9th century, King Paranatakai gave "golden roof" to the shrine of Lord Shiva. History states that one of the Pandya Kings. Sundara Pandya, also built the eastern tower of the temple. The inscription states that during the reign of Rajendra Chola, the king of Cambodia handed over gold and gemstones to the Lord of the temple through his ambassadors.
Here, Shiva Perumana appears as Nataraja, a "Cosmic dancer" who is said by modern physics and nuclear scientists say he is the center of the earth the beneath the thumb of his foot. The dancing Lord Shiva is also known as the "goat". Spread over an area of 51 acres. It is one of the largest temples in Tamil Nadu and India.

Govindaraja Perumal, one of the 108 Vaishnaya Divya Natios, located near the Nataraja Perumal Sanctuary, is a fine example of Saiva and Vaishnava unity.
In the past, Lord Shiva was worshiped in this place, the sage called Matyanthan. Every day, Lord Shiva worshiped and worshiped Lord Shiva in the forests near this place. He regretted that such flowers would not be used for Shiva, Since each time the flowers were absorbed by the bees, most of its was absorbed by the nectar. Lord Shiva registered that he could not go in the dark before the bees were able to pick flowers.
The Lord Shiva, who appeared before him, climbed into the trees and plucked the flowers, and the leopard's feet, and the sight of the leopard, who had the power to see in the dark, gave the Madhyandians a gift. Due to this, the Madhyanadians named the Vaikiram, which means the Venkat, from the day the sage was called "Vyakripadhar". Lord Shiva is blessed by the presence of Vyakira Pada Sage and "Patanjali" Sage, the father of "Yogakalai".
ARCHITECTURE
The word "Chidambaram secret" is remembered by all as Chidambaram. The real secret of this is to explain the philosophy of life that we are nothing when mixed with the knowledge of "Sith"and "Ambaram". That is why the principle of the shrine is screened in the presence of a while light, to offer the liturgy, and then remove the vevil and shown the witchcraft to the devotees.
The temple is built according to the philosophy of the human body invented by the Siddhas. The 21,600 gold tiles in the temple are the exact number of breaths a man can breaths in a day. The 72,000 nails implanted in the horns refer to the 72,000 nerves that run through the human body. The 9 gates in the temple represented the 9 holes in the human body. The pillars of the temple made up of 5 steps of Ponnambalam representing the five letters "Sivayanama", 64 Satyam trees representing 64 arts, 96 windows representing 96 philosophes, 4 Vedas, 6 Shastras and 5 gurus.
During the months of the month, the special worship of Lord Shiva is performed by singing "Thiruvemba". The month of Thiruvathirai is celebrated with great fanfare. On special days like Anirithramanjanam and Mahasivarathri, special rituals are performed for Lord Shiva. The worship of Chidambara Nataraja is the consensus of the Sivanadiyas of salvation.
