one is aphoto of the scffolding at tanjore big temple. hope they take the opportuinty to photograph each statue on t he tower( that is if they have not already done it)
the second one is further discoveries in yali caves at mamallapuram.
gokul, swetha, sankaran, sathish and I had an opportunity to see the excavation half way.
what I was amazed was with the geography. the temple is but afew yards from the sea line and yet the basement goes 20-25 feet below the beach sand. so does it prove the sea was very much away during the sangam periods ?? venketesh
Yes,it should have been away from the current leval.Since most of pagodas submerged under sea,i guess that itself tells the truth of sea leval at the Pallava period or Sangam period.
