Pulikuthi Hero Stone / Veerakallu, Sri Thanthondreeswarar Temple / ஸ்ரீ தான்தோன்றீஸ்வரர் கோயில், Nambiyur, Erode District, Tamil Nadu.

In this Pulikuthi Hero stone, the hero looks straight, holding a sword in the right hand and a shield in the left hand. His face is shown with a big moustache and the tuft is shown straight up. He wears ornaments on the ears and over the neck.  The Tiger is shown with its front legs on the Hero’s stomach and biting Hero’s right hand.


Unusually, the Hero will be shown holding a knife or a Kattar, and killing the Tiger. But in this hero stone, the hero is shown with a sword in the raised position, and the Tiger bites the hero. 
As per the experts, this Hero stone may belong to the 16th to 17th century.
