Vello New temple/inscriptions
  • Heard a small news piece in a Tamil TV channel a few days back... a
    new temple and some inscriptions were found when someone was trying to
    dig the ground for some construction. The folks of that place that it
    was a 1000-year old temple.

    1000 varudangalukku mundhaya pandiyargal kaalathudhu-nu news reporter
    sonnaar. The word "PANDIYA" were clear when they showed the kalvettu
    for a brief moment.

  • Hi Krupa, SPS others,
    It is not Vellore, byt Melur near MAdurai. Madurai members like Rahul/
    others can go and document each and every stone, inscriptions, other details
    of geographical locations, other details about the village and its culture,
    heritage value etc.
    Send the details to [email protected] and also share with PS
    and temple_cleaners members. If the villagers want any help to restore and
    rebuild the temple, we can go to their aid.
    The village is: *Karayipatti Village near Melur* (This is on the Madurai
    Trichi National Highway).
    What they got: 2000 yr old dieties statues, one Kongan Siddar (? wonder how
    they named it so) statue, 5 feet long stone inscriptions with vattezhutthu,
    and other 10-12 more stone inscriptions, and a big Shivalinga.

Howdy, Stranger!
