Sittannavasal, which is situated very near to Pudukkottai district of Tamil Nadu, India, has been one of the early Jain temples in Tamil Nadu, belonged to 9th century. This rock cut temple is on a fine hillock, which is very popular for its bas- relief sculptures, and for its antique fresco paintings, which have come next to the frescoes of Ajanta paintings, of India.
This rock cut Jain temple was excavated in the early pandya period, that is, A.D. 7th century. This cave temple is facing towards west, and it consists of a square Sanctum Sanctorum, and a rectangular artha mandapam. The rear wall of the Sanctum Sanctorum contains bas-relief structures of three Jain Tirthankaras, in sitting posture. The side wall of the artha mandapam, shows the bas-relief structure of, Parsvanatha, and Jain Acharyas.
This cave temple has been decorated with mural paintings, made of vegetable colors. The ceiling of the artha mandapam has been depicted with the lovely paintings of a lotus tank, with realistic figures of men, animals, flowers, birds, fishes, and geometrical motifs, using with ‘Fresco-secco’ technique. The colors used in the painting have been black, green, yellow, orange, blue, red and white. This recalls the 'Samava sarana', faith in Jainism. The facade of the pillars has been painted with dancing girls, the king, and queen. These paintings have been representing the typical, early painted tradition of the south, and comparable with those of Ajanta.
An inscription on a rock, records that the renovation work had been carried out to the Sanctum Sanctorum, and additional of a Structural mandapam, during the period, of the early Pandya king, Sri Vallabha, that is, the period of A.D. 815 to 862, by certain Ellen Gowthaman, alias Madurai Aasiriyar.

சித்தன்னவாசல் ஓவியம்(அ) அறிவர்கோயில் புதுக்கோட்டை Chittanavasal , Arivar Koil in Pudukkottai
While the Sittanavasal village is dated from 1st century BC to 10th century AD when Jainism flourished here, the Temple-cave was initially dated to Pallava King Mahendravarman I (580–630 AD) prior to his conversion from Jainism to Hinduism as a Shaivite. However, an inscription attributes its renovation to a Pandyan king probably Maran Sendan (654–670 AD) or Arikesari Maravarman (670–700 AD).[3][6] The Jain beds on the hill top is attributed to the Jain era pilgrimage centre which lasted till the 9th century AD. However, in the Pudukkottai region, where the monuments are located, there are many archaeological finds of the megalithic burial sites from much earlier.
Sittanavasal is a rock-cut cave, situated on the western side of central part of a hill, which runs in a north-south direction. The hill measures approximately 70 metres (230 ft) in height, and sits above the surrounding plain which has some archaeological monuments. The Jain natural caverns, called Ezhadippattam are approached from the foothills. The cave is approached by climbing a few 100 steps.
The decorative paintings in the ceiling of the sanctum and ardha-mandapam of Aravirkovil though compared to the classical cave painting styles used in the Ajanta Caves but have minor variations in use of the materials for creating the paintings and also reported to provide a link between the Ajanta paintings (4th–6th century AD) and the Chola paintings of 11th century at Thanjavur.[2] The ceilings have depiction of a lotus tank with natural looking images of men, animals, flowers, birds and fishes representing the Samavasarana faith of Jainism. The pillars are also carved with dancing girl and the king and the queen.[14]
Paintings in the roof of the Ardhamnatapa are the mural paintings with Samavasarana theme. The mural exhibits a water tank or khatika-bhumi which is shown with the tank made of tiles filled with lotus flowers and surrounded by bhavyas (the faithful), elephants, fishes, one fish shown as jumping out of water, pillars with figurines of Pandya king Srimara Srivallabha (9th century AD) and his queen offering reverence to Ilam Gautaman, an acharya of Madura who created these paintings. While cleaning the paintings, one more layer of Samavasarana themed painting was revealed in the ceiling of the Garbha-griha, but in a carpet-design..

Tamil nadu in South India is the richest place for Jain Heritage sites; Be it monuments, caves, sculptures, paintings, stone beds for Ascetics, Palm leaf manuscripts ,idols, etc every district has all or many of these treasures.The pity is that leave alone others, our northern jain friends do not know any of these holy places and precious holy objects -some dated from 5th BCE and beyond.Jainology Departments of various universities particularly Madras university should involve if not fully at least to certain extent to bringout these jain heritage treasures, the glory of Jainism in Tamil nadu to the outside world and particularly to our Northern friends
