Narthamalai, a cluster of small hills, is 25 km from Tiruchi on the Tiruchi-Pudukottai in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Here can be seen some of the oldest rock cut cave temples, as well as the longest rock-cut edicts, similar to Asokan edicts and extremely rare in the south of India.[1]

The two rock-cut temples are classic examples of how temple architecture styles were fusing in different parts of the country.[1]
