Pallava Dynasty - Mahendravarman I
Hi Saurabh,

Pallava Dynasty - Simhavishnu
I'd really have to dispute that; Narayana Suktam is Vedic (or at least, from an Upanishad), and the etymology of Narayana is (among others) "The one who rests (ayana) in water (naara)", or "The one (nara) who is the ultimate goal…

Pallava Dynasty part II
Thanks for all that research, Saurabh! Here's the same list in a tree form... Some things I observed: 1) What's the relation between the main (Simhavarman I) branch and the Yuva Maharaja Vishnugopa branch? If the tree is to be believed,…

Funny as this may be, it's a nice place for me to make a point I've made elsewhere before: Modern India can be said to start either in 1857 or 1947, which gives us less than 1/4th of the time the Cholas ruled, less than half the time of t…

19th PSVP tour - Singavaram
One of the reasons that we want to take photographs is to at the very least, document these marvels before they disappear into history... I'd suggest that the very existence of an ancient temple (not that hard to figure out) is an invitation t…

Thanks! Do you know anything more about this temple, like its age and/or any heritage it may have? I'd really like to know...

Fall of Patri-lineal dynasty & Rise of Matri-lineal dynasty of Chola Empire
Hi, This isn't something that's unique in Indian, or indeed, Tamil history by any means; the Pallavas faced it too, after the death of Parameswara Varman in (probably) 731 CE. Nandivarman II (called Pallavamalla), who was a matrilineal de…

In general, it's easier to use the land route in the peninsula. There are no rivers running north-south, and if you go by the Bay of Bengal, you could easily get caught in a cyclone. I don't see the advantage of the sea route for much othe…

A moonless night is generally a little better. Emphasis on "little"... ;-) Shash

Actually, if you have the patience, and you go up in the middle a dark night, you can see at least the planets and the zodiac, and some of the other constellations like Orion and Sirius. I've taken some OK photographs that way, though I haven&…

Kalahasti tower collapse - some observations
Hi Raj, I've been thinking about it ever since it happened, too. It's important to separate the engineering puzzle (why exactly did it fall) from the general issue at hand (how did the authorities allow this to happen in the first place).…

More Vimanams in Danger - Dinamalar
Does anyone know when the last series of kumbabhishekam/renovations were done at Kalahasti? done by the authorities with regard to the upkeep of the temple for several years. Or quite possibly, they used the wrong techniques (concrete to shore up l…

Ashoka and Tamils
One name of Chanakya was "Dramila" - Tamizha... It's really just a theory; as with so many things, we simply don't have any information on his antecedents. Shash

Question of antiquity
Hmm, looking at the family tree of scripts, Kannada is definitely not older than Grantha... It's derived from the Kadamba script. I think the Kadambas were in the 4th-6th centuries? http://www.ancientscripts.com/sa_ws.html Shash

Hey, no Sirs! I'm just (yet another) history/culture buff like you... I'm not arguing with you - I just used the opportunity to put in a few of my thoughts...
