The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will soon resume the conservation work at the Vasantha Mandapam of the later Chola-period Abathsahayeswarar temple-cum-fort in Senthamangalam in Villupuram district.
“The work for restoration and conservation of the temple are over. We had dismantled the Vasantha Mandapam for reconstruction. The work could not be continued earlier because of the pandemic. We will start the work shortly,” said Mr P.S. Sriraman, superintending archaeologist of the ASI.
