I visited the temple along with Dr. K Balu and Dr. R Nagaswamy.
Immediately sent telegram to Delhi - director Conservation / ASI.
They enquired in to the matter ...
further damage got minimised... but the broken pieces were treated like JUNK...
Read www.varalaaru.com article on Udayaluril pallippadayah !?
Even if it is not there, the fact that RENOVATION OF THE DILAPIDATED MANDAP FRONT YARD, where let us say RRC just sat and got down .. such RENOVATION was performed after about 100 years of RRC's demise by the TEAM AFTER PERFORMING VRIDHAM !!
Am sure it is not for the King...
It is for his Legendry accomplishments .. including the Big temple.. !
This speaks HIGH of our Ancestory..
Now there is more awakening...
Let us hope the Contractors are approaching the matter with more care... !
