KOTRAVAI/ DURGAI AT OZHALUR
After Anoor Sri Asthra Pureeswarar temple visit,
Mrs. Radha Kumar took us to Ozhalur. Since we missed the route we went up to
Chengalpattu and reached Ozhalur. The Panel is dumped in front of a Vishnu temple and the locals do not know the value of it. It was
told the panel is Kotravai. But it seemed to be of Durgai and the posture is
similar to the Durgai available at the Vallam Pallava Period rock-cut Cave temple.
Hence this panel may belong to the end of the Pallava or early Chozha period. The Local people believe that if the panel is installed some bad things will happen in the Village. In addition, there is a stone slab containing the inscriptions of the Chozha period.
The inscription is not legible to read.
Saptamatrikas at Sokandi
As per Kanchipuram Mavatta Tholliyial Kaiyedu, during the Sundara Pandyan Period, this place was called Sovandi. This place was named "Sundara Pandyan Chaturvedi Mangalam" and gifted to Agaram Periya Nadavar of this Village. This was inscribed on the Tank side stone, which is missing now.
இன்று சோகண்டியில் திருகழுக்குன்றம் அருகே... குளத்தையும் அது சம்பந்தமான பாண்டியர் கல்வெட்டையும் தேடி அலைந்த போது கிடைத்த சப்த மாந்தர்கள்... அன்னமார் சாமி என்று கூறுகின்றனர்.
CAIRN CIRCLES AT ANOOR.
After attending Kumbabishekam of Sri Munkudumeeswarar
temple at P.V.Kalathur, we headed towards Anoor to see a Pallava Period Shiva temple,
which is under renovation. Before Anoor
on the left, we happened to see more than 20 Cairn circles, which belong to the prehistoric/megalithic period. After seeing the cairn circles, when we referred ASI
website the same was recorded already. In that, we happened to notice one
circle which measures approximately 28 to 30 feet in diameter with big boulders.
Must belong to a big person or a leader of that group.
