The Visit to this Thondanur Lake & Ramanujar Statue, one of the Tourist spot of Thondanoor was a part of Karnataka State, Hoysala Period Shiva and temple’s visit on 30th July 2023, organised by தொண்டை மண்டல வரலாற்று ஆய்வு சங்கம் "திருக்கச்சி" FB Group.
The Lake is Spread over 2200 acres, surrounded by the small mountains. Many claims that this lake was man made during Vishnuvardhana period under the guidance of Saint Ramanujacharya. ( 1017 – 1137 CE ). But the fact may be different. Rain water from the small mountains around this lake might have gone waste and a bund might have been constructed to store water with a sluice Gate to regulate the water flow. The out flow was used for irrigation and drinking. The lake was called as ‘Thirumala sagara” during Vishnuvardhana’s period.
A Narasimhar temple was also constructed on one the hill around the Lake during Saint Ramanuja. The saint Ramanuja’s statue, in sitting posture is installed during recent years on the out flow side of the lake.
