Hero
Stone with vattezhuthu Inscriptions at Sri RaviMangalanathar Temple, Kaala Medu, Near Palani, Dindigul District.
This
Hero stone was once dumped on the roadside. The same was brought inside the
temple premises and installed. Thanks to Thenkongu Sathasivan for the efforts
taken. This hero stone is in a highly eroded condition, both bas relief and the
Vattezhuthu inscription. In Hero Stones, two persons are shown. What weapons
they are carrying is not known. A small dog is shown between their legs.
