RRC BRONZE - How proved ?
Many thanks, SPS. I also read VJ's comment on sole left-leg anklet. Any insight on my "lack of mustache" observation? It is difficult to visualize mustache-less kings in those days. Perhaps there are other evidences that might give u…

RRC BRONZE (?)
I have posted below their pics side by side. As you can see KDR has a rather bold mustache, while RRR looks rather boyish (no offense meant). If the statue was made some 100+ years after he passed on, the remembrance is likely to be that of his la…

Vepathur - bringing out the temple from ruins...! latest photos
Thanks for posting the pictures, Chandra. Has an assessment been made of its age? Being an all brick structure that contains at least two types of bricks, it may be a temple that is on top of an older temple? Any insights from Dr.TS? Regards, Ra…

Mahalingam report on terrocota vinayagar and link to past PhD theses

Mahalingam report on terrocota vinayagar and link to past PhD theses
Dear VJ I suspect that the issue may be with University of Madras folks who hold the rights with the author to that volume. In all likelihood, GoogleBooks sent a release request to them, and no one responded. Google does not need a copy from U of…

Thanks, Hari. Your pictures showed of the sannathi that the foundation was granite stones, at least the interior course, brick further up and most likely exterior course. In essence, not an all brick construction. Your collection of othe temples…

19th PSVP tour to Panamalai and surroundings
For those of us who are unable to go on this tour, I wonder if you could consider posting pictures of the murals. Those pictures are not easy to take due to light conditions and contrast difficulties. But, make a go of it, for the rest of us. Regar…

You make good points Shash. i don't disagree with any. We know that Gopurams have collapsed in several temples. I have seen many pictures. If my memory serves me right, either Azhagar Koil or one near it has its tower down in the rubles.…
