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