Cholas, ardent Saivaites, built some temples on their parent's ashes. Those Siva temple inscriptions explicitly state they are built so. (paLLippaTai iiccaram). For the list of sites, consult S. R. Balasubrahmanyam, multivolume series on Chola temples. I think Rajendra,I built a paLLippaTai temple for his mother near Darasuram. Regards, N. Ganesan
