Sculptures on the Gopuram

Pictured is a sculpture of Lord Dathathreya..

There is a story of "Incarnation" behind (almost) every Hindu God.

In The era gone by , the demonic
energies grew enormously in the gross and subtle forms Gods efforts
to vanquish them were unsuccessful. Then under orders for Lord Brahma
and listening to the prayers of Devas, Maha Vishnu took the form
of Datha. Incarnated at various places in different forms for spiritual
revival and destroyed the demons.
