		The earliest inscription in the Meenakshi temple complex belongs to Kulasekhara Pandya (1190 - 1216 A.D.) Scholars believe that the sanctum of the Sundareswara temple, called Indra Vimana, was built by him.
		It is probable that Kulasekhera constructed this sanctum in stone removing an earlier temple of brick and mortar built around 8th - 9th centuries A.D.

		Virapandya (1296 - 1342) etc. contributed much to the development of this temple.
