Pallava period Hero stone / Veerakallu / Nadukal, Ongur, Villupuram District, Tamil Nadu

This Hero stone’s iconography is very similar to the Pallava period Hero stone. The hero is in a standing posture holding a sword in the right hand and a bow in the left hand. The sword is in the opposite direction to the Hero. The Hero stone is badly eroded condition.  

This Hero stone belongs to the 9^th Century CE with two lines of inscriptions. We couldn’t find out the meaning of the inscriptions except the two names of Ko KoRRan and his son’s name as Ooran. The inscription reads as ….

1. கோ கொற்றன்  
2. மகன் ஊறன்
