KOTRAVAI/ DURGAI AT OZHALUR

After Anoor Sri Asthra pureeswarar temples visit, Mrs Radha Kumar took us to Ozhalur. Since we missed the route we went up to Chengalpattu and reached Ozhalur. The Panel is dumped in front of a Vishnu temple and the locals do not know the value of it.  It was told the panel is Kotravai. But it seemed to be of Durgai and the posture is similar to the Durgai available at Vallam Pallava Period rock cut Cave temple. Hence this panel may belongs to end of Pallava or early Chozha   period. The Local people believe that if the panel is installed some bad things will happen in the Village. In addition to there is stone slab contains the inscriptions of Chozha period. The inscription is not legible to read.

Saptamatrikas at Sokandi

As per Kanchipura Mavatta Tholliyial Kaiyedu, during Sundara Pandyan Period this place was called as Sovandi. This place was named as "Sundara Pandyan Chathurvedi Mangalam" and gifted to Agaram Periya nadavar of this Village. This was inscribed on the Tank side stone, which is missing now.

 

இன்று சோகண்டியில் திருகழுக்குன்றம் அருகே...குளத்தையும் அது சம்பந்தமான பாண்டியர் கல்வெட்டையும் தேடி அலைந்த போது கிடைத்த சப்த மாந்தர்கள்... அன்னமார் சாமி என்று கூறுகின்றனர்.

CAIRN CIRCLES AT ANOOR.

After attending Kumbabishekam of Sri Munkudumeeswarar temple at P.V.Kalathur, we headed towards Anoor to see a Pallava Period Shiva temple, which is under renovation.  Before Anoor on the left we happened to see more than 20 Cairn circles, which belongs to prehistoric / megalithic period. After seeing the cairn circles, when we referred ASI web site and the same was recorded already. In that we happened to notice one circle which measures approximately 28 to 30 feet diameter with big boulders. Must belong to a big person or a leader of that group.
