26th May
2019.
After the darshan of
Sri Periyanayagi Amman at Devikapuram, we started returning to Kanchipuram. We
tried our luck to see Sri Yoga Ramar temple at Nedungunam. But the temple was found
closed. We continued our travel to
Kanchipuram. Just 2 to 3 KM after Nedungunam happened to see these Hero Stones installed in the field on the left side
of the road. Of the three
Nadukarkal one was found half broken. The three Nadukarkal, Sati and Memorial stones belong to the 15th to 17th Century Vijayanagara Nayaka period.

This memorial stone
is in worship. The man is standing in the sama bhanga posture with folded hands. A half dress is shown
below his waist. Ears are shown elongated. The lady is shown in a tribhanga posture with a head tuft on her left side. While her left hand is hanging, her right hand

SATI
STONE
In Sati Stone, the
Hero holds a bow in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. The hero and
wife are standing in three banga standing posture. Both Hero and her wife's head
tuft are shown on their left side. The hero’s wife's left hand is hanging and her right hand is in raised position. The other details could not be identified
since the stone was heavily weathered.
