i am not an expert, but that looks like architecture similar to the temples in cambodia. it looks nothing like chola or pallava architecture. how did you conclude this is a tamil temple?

google image search says this is the sulamani temple, which is a buddhist temple. it says nothing about a tamil temple.

AFAIK, that is a stupa-style temple. Like what now remains of the Borobodur temple near Yogyakarta in Java: Photo. 800 yr old Tamil Temple in Myanmar (Burma) _BorobudurTemple3

This is one looks flatter from the picture taken on the ground, but there are some similarities in style and it looked a lot like the Myanmar temple from the air.

some indian hindus make the spurious and laughable claim that the taj mahal is actually a hindu temple and tejomahalay is its real name. your claim that it is a tamil temple and that is really the soolamani temple sounded just as spurious. clear now?

Ah, Facebook wisdom. Less reliable than Wikipedia wisdom because there is no community editing process.

Hey Kayar,

Look at other temples (especially Buddhist) of Burma! Do you see any similarities? Stop being a koopastha mandookam.

How dare you deny Soolamani, a well-known Tamilian in his prime, of his architecture in Burma? As for the builders of the above temples -- (1) The one in front was built by Usalaimani. (2) The ones on the left were by Rajamani. Finally, (3) The ones on the right were constructed by none other than Gundumani. Hope that helps.

Just wait for awhile.. Rashmunullah will start a thread and "prove" that it was actually built by Babur's Tamil general, and hence built by Babur.
