CHENNAI: Three idols have reportedly been stolen from Puradhana Vaneswar- Periyangadi Amman temple in Thiruchitrambalam in Tamil Nadu's Thanjavur district, in Chennai.

The idols donated by devotees to the Puradhana Vaneswar- Periyangadi Amman temple were stolen on December 10.
Amman idol was four feet tall, whereas Natarajar and Somaskandar idols were each one foot tall.

The idols were kept for daily prayer in the temple, which was built in the seventh century AD. Police mentioned that due to the rain and Cyclone warning, devotees had not come to the temple and the thieves stole the idols.

Police said, the robbers have cut off the CCTV camera wires and hence visuals were not obtained.

The Tamil Nadu idol wing police have made many recoveries of idols stolen from temples of the state.

The idol wing has recently traced the idol of dancing Krishna, which was taken away by the robbers from a temple in Tamil Nadu, to a museum in the US and has written to the museum authorities to retrieve the idol after 50 years.
