  •  
    Valikandapuram:
     
    On the Trichy - villupuram Highway.
     
    Valeeswarar - Thiruvaleeswaram in epigraphs
     
    Though no thevaram song for the temple, This temple has epigraphs from Aditya Chola I.
     
    Trade and Statecraft in the ages of colas - Kenneth R Hall, Page 194
     
     "existence of Trader assembly from Aditya I period, .Followed by Parantaga I inscription on the same subject. "( Intrestingly  Aditya's name is Kothanda Rama and his pallippadai is called Kodandarameswaram - again a pre RRC name.)
     
    In RRC period - 16th year of Rajarajachola, One Panchavan marayan gifted for food offering to the mahadeva at Thiruvaliswaram.
     
    The book of Kenneth hall also says - The legend of Rama meeting Vali here and that is why many people gave donations to the temple at Vali kanda puram.
     
    Now you may ask - Sankar, first valmiki Ashram in Chennai, Now Kishkinta near Perambalur?
     
    The answer is in another literary work ( though a later one ) let us discuss in the next mail.
