Dolmen / Muthumakkal Thazhi / Vasalurpatti, Kolli Hills / Kollimalai, Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu.

The Visit to this Heritage Site with Dolmen also known as Muthumakkal Thazhi was a part of Kolli Hills Heritage walk  - “வல்வில் ஒரி தேச மரபு நடை...” organised by எண்திசை வரலாற்று மரபுநடை குழு, on 20^th and 21^st May 2023. Thanks to Mr AT Mohan to take us to these Heritage sites. 

This Dolmen is identified as “Muthumakkal Thazhi” by the local people, since a Thazhi made of mud was found inside this dolmen. The mud pot in which the deceased was buried, is called as Muthumakkal Thazhi. This may be a primary burial or a Secondary burial. The Dolmen was constructed with 4 slab stones in anti-swastika formation and covered with a cap stone weighing around a ton. The east side slab has a rectangular hole, against the usual, round hole. It is believed that the spirit of the deceased will go out and come back through this hole.
