Guhanatha swamy temple had sculptures on the wall that looked similar to the periya kovil 'man in hat' carving, except no hat, everything else was similar. Any one else observed this? Are there any other places like this? - R

If virgin mary is a myth and draupadi's communion is metaphysical The history vs myth questions that sound solid in my ears are Who would be Karnan, Pandavas? Which really complicates the next question. How did the pandavas(who already seem…

History does not account for various stories and tales of the bard, which seems to be having many lines of history before being sung. Even though Zvelebil has a good account of the time line and research, his sequence has small yet important gaps. …

Agreed, think it must be after the pallava reign. However, there is a specific narasimha temple in Ahobilam where they offer meat to the Lord. I guess that is much older in time line. There is no documented history on Kannapar ofcourse, so it is di…

A disturbing read
Some parts of the article were out right ignorant. Some were more discriminatory. And finally, we can look at some as our own 'dark age' incidents. I would not term as disturbing though, I find it as another attempt to tarnish the indian …

The strange Tamizh fascination with caste...
