Korattur - Kanchi & beyond
  • Dear SN,

    I could speak to Mr. Rajavelu - epigraphist (now Tamil University / formerly ASI, Chennai ) - in detail today - re subject temple / inscription.

    It is HE who has found this and published theinscription !!

    He has agreed to visit the temple again and read further inscriptions if any - along with you within a month or so !!

    4 - 5 years we all travlled together to Melpadi ( Arinjayeswaram ). On the way we diverted to see a temple near Walaja, but somehow missed the way and proceeded further to Ranipet.

    The temple we wanted to visit was @ CHOLAPURAM - a Pallippadai temple - supposedly the FIRST PALLIPPADAI temple in TN - that of a Ganga King during Pallava Rule !!

    Some of the EARLIEST SAPTHA MATRIKAs are also located here ~!

    Clubbing Gangai konda choleeswarar - we can plan a trip covering some of the temples of HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE over there !!
