This architectural marvel was constructed by the later chola king Rajaraja Chola II Aka Parakesari,,
Archaeological Dept of india has taken over this temple from Tanjore Maratha dynasty .
this temple was partially damaged by Muslim invaders ...later the Maratha Kings removed the few monuments from the temple and placed it in the Sarawasati Mahal in Tanjore.
Archaeological Dept has done excellent work by partially re structuring the temple monuments.right now the temple is well maintained and honored as the UNESCO world heritage monument.
