Kamala Narayana Perumal Temple, happened to these menhir worshiped as
Muneeswaran. This menhir belongs to the 3000 to 4000 years old stone age. Some of the menhirs with inscriptions belong to recent periods along with Muneeswaran.
Probably installed in memory of their ancestors with their names inscribed.
