It was told that during Chozha period, the Merchants were permitted to
have their own army to safe guard their animals, goods from the robbers /
thieves. This sort of Athikosa memorial stones
are erected on the trade route. As per the scholars this Arhikosa memorial Stone belongs to 10th to 11th Century.

VINAYAGAR
Also we had seen a a beautiful Vinayagar statue on
the banks of a water channel. It had damage on hands, head, pasa and ankusa. etc,.
AYYANAR
Then we had seen an Ayyanar sculpture on the back side of the Shiva Temple on the same Village Kannadiputhur in the thorny bush. The Ayyanar is in sitting posture with left leg up with yoga patti. His consorts are not shown or sculptures are not seen in that area.
