Thai Nadukal/ Hero Stones/ தாய் நடுகல், of Kongu Mandalam, Amandakadavu, and Jaykarinapuram ( J Krishnapuram ), Tiruppur District, Tamil Nadu.

The Visit to these Thai Nadukal was a part of Hero Stones, Hero Sthambas also called Malakoil, Inscription Stones Visit in Tiruppur and Coimbatore Districts of “Kongu Mandalam” on 25th July 2024. I extend my sincere thanks to Mr. Palladam Ponnuswamy & Logesh of வீரராசேந்திரன் தொல்லியல் மற்றும் வரலாற்று ஆய்வு மையம் Veerarajendran Tholliyal MaRRum VaralaRRu Ayyvu Maiyam, Tiruppur, for taking us ( Me and Mrs. Sakthi Prakash ) to all these Heritage sites


Thai Nadukal, Amandakadavu School.
This Thai Nadukal is sculpted on the boulder, inside the School at Amandakadavu in Tiruppur District.  In this Thai Nadukal, a Lady is carrying a Child, and Cows are shown on both sides of her. She is holding a child in her right hand and her left hand is in a hanging position. A bowl /basket is shown on her head. Since there is no inscription on this Nadukal, some of the experts believe that this Lady / a herder, who takes care of her cattle, might have died, either to save from thieves or the wild animals.

About 100 meters from the Thai Nadukal, a Nadukal is found erected for two persons. Since the bas-relief is found heavily eroded couldn’t identify anything.

This Thai Nadukal is facing east, on the back side of the Village Temple. In this Thai Nadukal, a Lady is carrying a Child, and Cows are shown on both sides of her. She is holding a child in her right hand and her left hand is hanging.
