10th March 2019.
After the Thiruparkadal Temples Visit, on the way to Kaveripakkam, we
happened to see the Hero Stone, Sati Stones, and Harichandran bas- reliefs. I
was a little curious to know, how this Harichandra relief stone had come here at
the entrance of the Village since there was no burial or cremation ground nearby. The Villagers said
that the deceased body would be brought here, pooja would be done to Arichandran
and then the body would be taken to cremation/burial ground. (It is believed that
the Arichandran is the authority or the God for the cremation ground and with
his permission only the body has to be cremated).
In the sati and Hero stones the heroes are holding weapons and their wives are holding pots ( மது குடுவை ) in
their hands. The details could not be seen due to turmeric and kungum paste
applied on the faces of the reliefs.
