Kalachakra exhibition at singapore national library
  • Hi,

    The national library of singapore is having a small exhibition to go
    along with the kaachakra events in singapore. was much pleased to
    see that starting cut out ......HAIL PROSPERITY. i was asking the
    other visitors if they know what this meant ( namballuku theriumnu
    oru bantha than)....Swastir sree....and the next exhibit turned out
    to be the actual prasithi of rajendra .....Tiruvalangadu plates(
    copy) - his kadaram conquests... Sangama Vijayottungavarman, the
    king of Kataha, belonging to the Sailendras of Java. The list of 13
    towns in the archipelago sacked by the Cholas has come from
    Rajendra's own inscriptions. Scholars have identified all but two of
    them. Six are located on the Malay peninsula, four on Sumatra, the
    other being the Nicobar islands

    the next was an even more interesting plate - the puttir plates -
    whihc talk of the gift of a chariot by the cambodian king ( one
    which he had vanquished many armies with)...as a gift to appease
    rajendra seek his hand in support ( + as per some scholars to keep
    him from launching on cambodia after his destruction of sri vijaya -
    in essence a tribute)

    there was a cut out of the mahab shore temple and couple of other
    pictures.

    there were copies of tamil insciptions found in thailand, indonesia,
    china etc...showing the tamil influence in south east asia
