The
Visit to this Kumizhi Thoombu / Sluice Gate in Pachal Eri and the inscription
stone connected to this, at Sellandi Amman Temple at Pachal Village, was a part
of Namakkal District Temples and Heritage sites Visit on 23rd
February 2024. Thanks to Mrs Sakthiprakash who accompanied with me to this Visit. Thanks to Mr Srinivasan for the Photographs and more details.
Usually
these Kumizhi thoombu / Sluice Gate will be installed to regulate the out flow
of water, which depends on the storage and requirement. The drawing shows, how
the Kumizhi Thoombu works. The old system was abandoned and new Kumizhi thoombu
was installed at the overflow side of the eri.
THOOMBU
INSCRIPTION STONE
This
eri Kumizhi Thoombu / Sluice Gate belongs to Chozha period. A Kumizhi Thoombu /
Sluice Gate inscription stone is installed on the side of the temple. The
inscription records the excavation of the Chozha chaturvedi mangalathu Eri and
the stopping of breach was done by the Moonru karai nadan ( a head of the
person ). Then this has to be maintained by Moonru karai nattar. The text of
the inscription goes as….
