  • Hi Sps
    Tirikootaraasappakavirayar's well known work Kutrala Kuravanji

    though I dont remember the words from schooldays i remember enjoying
    it with great relish some references to monkeys.
    in 1944, Kalakshetra produced the first dance drama, 'Kutrala
    Kuravanji'. It was Rukmini Devi's original contribution and was done
    with her own intuitive knowledge. The music was composed by Veena
    Krishnamachariar and Rukmini created the entire production. It was
    premiered in Bombay and traveled all over north India. She played the
    role of the heroine, Vasantavalli

    kutralam temple>
    The temple has a conch shaped temple (Prakaram) plan and is referred
    to as Sangakkovil.
    some reports suggest Parvati's shrine is also of significance here
    and is regarded as one of the 64 Shakti Peethams(?)

    the later pandyas ( post malik kafurs invasion concenttrated on this
    area with thenkasi, sankaran koil too)

    nadarajar's chithira sabhai.
    perhaps the southern most of the thevaram shrines- excluding lankan
    shrines of kedeswaram and trinco (or including lanka? need to check
    the lattitude)

Howdy, Stranger!
