    service for the lord.
    a service for which he was rewarded with the post of emperor.

    come on everybody
    start listing the places and their importance in ps
  • vanakkam,

    The very beginning of PS - veeranam eri.

    When u enter Thanjai, there is a bridge just before the State
    Transport office(CRC). This is supposed to have been the agazhi that
    Vandiyath Devan crossed while entering the Thanjai kottai.

  • veeraaanam--- importance

    1) the ps story starts here

    2)one great scene with vandiyathevan, aditya karikalan, manimekalai
    and nanthini on its banks
    they are marooned here.
    one nice scene where you get a feeling that kalki has not decided how
    to finish the story

    3 manimekalai dies on its banks .
  • swetha madam

    VD crossed vadavaru as mentioned in PS. But this river vadavaru has changed
    its course many a times subsequently, hence i doubt whether this would be
    the same place where VD would have crossed VD.

    Recollecting places, let me chip in.

    a) Kudanthai (Jothidar's house where VD storming in and seeing
    Kundhavai/Vanathi)
    b) Dharasuram - Close to Pazhaiyaarai
    c) Thiruppanandhaal (close to thirupurambiyam forest)
    d) After crossing kudanthai maybe somewhere after sundaraperumaal
    koil/papanaasam you can somewhere locate the place of chathiram with broken
    trees (same time when cyclone hit Nagapattinam)
  • rivers

    rivers are good landmarks

    of course kollidam river bank where vanthiyathevan and his friend
    maran are on friendly terms for the lasdt time

    kudanthai josiers house is on a bank of river
    will we not cross these two areas

    tanjore people should tell us when we cross these land marks.
    its their duty on this trip.
  • vanakkam,

    There are very less chances that we cross kollidam. There are lots
    of water channels inside Kumbakonam. Kaveri and its tributaries run
    criss-cross. It is difficult to point where Kudanthai Josier's house
    would have been.

    Remember the scene where Vanathi is frightened by a stuffed
    crocodile? This happens at the banks of arasalaru. We will cross
    this.

  • apart from arisilaaru what are all the distributaries of cauvery we
    wud be crossing on the trip....
  • kudamurutti
    thirumalai rajan aaru
    vettaaru
    vennaaru
    vadavaru
    kallanai kaalvaai (recent one)
  • hey
    what do you mean we wont cross kollidam???
    the vikravandi- kudanthai road must cut kollidam before we come to
    cauvery. no?
    i was always told the walls of gkc were broken by the british to lay
    the foundation of the kollidam bridge?

    was that the kollidam bridge after chidambaram?
  • sir,

    with my limited knowledge of geography i can say that unless and
    until we get into the hinterland beyond mukkombu we have to cross
    kollidam 100%..

    am i right?
