The Thirumayam Fort is a 40-segment of land wide fortification in the town of Thirumayam in Pudukkottai-Karaikudi Highway in Pudukkottai District, Tamil Nadu, India. It was worked by Vijaya Raghunatha Sethupathi, the Raja of Ramnad in 1687. Later the post was given over to his brother by marriage Raghunatha Raya Tondaiman. The stronghold has been widely revamped by Archeological Survey of India in 2012.
he fortification initially said to have been a ‘ring stronghold’ with seven concentric dividers has just four enduring at this point. The development of the fortress is of mediocre quality as little squares of stone were utilized alongside blocks for the structure of the stronghold.
The post has three doorways; one on the north, another on the south and third on the east. The sanctuaries committed to Hanuman, Sakthi, Ganapathi, Karuppar (watchman gods of the stronghold) are seen on the southern side and hallowed place to Bhairava on the northern side. Most of the way to the top on the correct side a chamber which was utilized as magazine was taken note. Inverse to this chamber on the western incline of a stone is a stone cut cell containing a linga on yonipitha, the spout of which is upheld by the figure of a smaller person.
On the highest point of the stone is a stronghold with gun of British cause. Toward the south of this Platform is a characteristic lake. On the southern incline there are two stone cut sanctuaries, one of them committed to Sri Sathyamurthy-Sri Uyyavanda Nachiar (Vaishnavite) and another to Sri Sathyagireeswarar-Sri Venuvaneeswari (Saivite), Which are verifiably and strictly more significant.
