Big Temple - Myth - Shadow - Proved Wrong - 3D
Chandikeswara only covers a small part of the day, during which the shadow doesn't fall to the ground anyway. For most of the day, it falls right on the ground... Besides, for half the year, the sun is on the same side as Chandikeswara; so it …

capitals of Cholas
What of Kanchi and Madurai? Often, in earlier times, the official capital might be X, but the king would spend half his days touring various other places to show the flag everywhere in his domains. I think this is more apparent in England, where th…

OK, this topic seems to have accumulated 21 mails under this subject and 15 under the earlier one! And we've come far far away from where we started! If we don't end it soon, we'll end up scaring everyone away, I think! These questi…

Hi Karthik, You're still not getting the point; it's not whether a particular act was kind or cruel. The question is whether you can tar everything that a person does with a single brush, and whether you can view history as black and whit…

Sir Thomas Munro and Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple
We discussed Munro some time ago; I remember some people were of the opinion that his statue should be removed from Mount Road... He's another interesting character: the very epitome of a White Mughal as Dalrymple calls them; Brits and other E…

Basic Doubt - Post RRC. Marathas in Tanjore.
Great-great-grandfather of Jai Singh II, builder of Jaipur! Aurangzeb also sent Jaswant Singh Rathore against Shivaji, among various other commanders... Jai Singh I and Shivaji later made peace and both invaded Bijapur under the Mughal flag. It wa…

Interesting! Thanks! There's another Chola ruler mentioned in the Velurpalayam plates of Nandivarman III, called Kumarankusa Chola: (V. 26.) The heroic head-jewel of the Chola race named Kumarankusa, the glory of whose prowess was well-known,…

Great idea! I think a good place to start is to look at the work that's been done before. I know that B Venkatraman mentions the post-RRC time in either one or two chapters in his book, Rajarajeswaram. Unfortunately, I only had a borrowed copy…

Hi, Just a small suggestion; can we please stop trying to find different ways to connect a non-existent brahmahati dosham to RRC or the Big Temple? Thanks! Every king of the Chola dynasty from Vijayalaya (Narthamalai) to at least Kulothunga III (K…

Request to go for Forum pattern
Hi all, What's the real difference between forums and mailing lists? a) In a forum, you have topics split off into subjects, while in a mailing list, the subject is for each post. Nevertheless, a good mail client organizes mails into threads …

Doubtful in my opinion... For one thing, remember our last meet and the discussion on pallipadais? There are specific rules and rituals for pallipadais, which don't seem to exist for the Big Temple... For another, it was completed and the kum…
