Spots TO SEE IN CENTRAL TAMIL NADU, INDIA - PART III

 A midway structure article was circulated in the IN Magazine, Thailand. The complete article can be examined in this blog. 


PUDUKOTTAI - second C BCE to nineteenth C CE 



WHERE IS PUDUKOTTAI? 


Pudukkottai is a little land-locked town, found almost at the point of convergence of Tamil Nadu State in India. Not an incredibly touristy spot and it has no beaches or falls or carnivals or some other standard attractions, yet for the individual who loves to explore the dismissed, and for the individual who takes the more uncommon bearing, untrodden way Pudukkottai has an over the top add up to bring to the table!!! 


Gigantic BURIALS IN PUDUKOTTAI 


What about we start with as old as conceivable get – Neolithic period i.e., the New Stone Age time, a couple of centuries earlier! It was the 'Sangam age' (third C BC – first C AD) here and the dead were placed in colossal stoneware urns and were covered. There are a couple of such gigantic internment areas all over the town, and a few thousand such urns are seen everywhere. These spots are generally seen as a titanic circle of laterite blocks, with rock pieces in the center. These stone pieces are kept in a kind of square of around 3 feet for each side, with a package at the center, molding 2 square shapes for the dead and their resources. 


Obsolete JAINISM IN PUDUKOTTAI 


Moving ahead in history by forever and a day to second C BC, we show up at a period when Jainism flourished and one such spot is Ezhadipattam. Its found close to Sittannavasal. It is a Jain Cavern with 17 Jain Beds. Jain Beds are extraordinarily smooth stone square shapes with a pad-like fairly raised region on one side. I couldn't acknowledge how an especially smooth surface was cultivated in second C BC with no high-level equipment and gadgets! Old Tamil Inscriptions are around these beds. Around one of these beds is the etching that says 'Erumi Naatu Kumuzhuur Pirantha Kavuti Eethendru Sithuppovil Ilaiyaar Seitha Adhittanam'. This instructs that the beds were cut by Ilayaar of Thenku Sithuppovil. 


Jainism so succeeded in this piece of the country that a lot later on, for a long time. Autonomous Jain models of various degrees of breaking down can be seen scattered in a couple of spots. Anyway not requested of as a Jain Tirthankara, these models are essentially like town divine beings here! 


HINDU TEMPLES OF PUDUKOTTAI 


Before long and a long time, safe-havens started appearing all indeed the spot of both Hinduism and Jainism. The earliest kind of asylums were rock-cut cave safe-havens. There are many, such cave asylums here, incl. Thirumayam, Kudumiyanmalai, Brahadambal asylum, etc were uncovered during seventh – 10th C. Unbelievably magnificent mitigation models in titanic sheets can be especially seen here! Think about it, goliath hillocks of rock uncovered to make a room-like space and carved with capricious easing models, without equipment or force, with pure human innovativeness and strength, holding all nature's resentment, over 1,000 years earlier! Later on, till nineteenth C, the heads of various domains kept broadening these asylums! 


Melodic INSCRIPTIONS 


Another distinguishing strength of Kudumiyanmalai is Musical etchings. There are just 3 obsolete melodic etchings and ponder what, every one of the three is in Pudukottai and one of them is in Kudumiyanmalai. 


FRESCOES OF SITTANNAVASAL 


In a comparative period, in Sittannavasal a Jain cave asylum called Arivar Koil was similarly uncovered, on the slant. This additionally has easing figures of Thirthankaras inside. Anyway, by then, it's not the figures that are commended here, it's the show-stoppers, the frescoes, having a spot with the seventh 10th C. These frescoes are all over the place, the segments, their embellishment, the rooftop, dividers, all over!!! 


Simply past this period, the earliest sort of small constructed safe-havens showed up and the best model is Narttamalai found almost a tremendous lake. Being there instantly close to the start of the day and participating in the sunrise is likely the best knowledge!!! A walk around the unpleasant slant and the dive on the contrary side takes you to the diminished, enchanting little asylum of Vijayalaya Choleeswaram. 


VIRALIMALAI PEACOCK SANCTUARY 


Around Narttamalai is nature's protected house!!! This is where one of the best Tropical Dry Evergreen Forests is found! Another nature's protected house found uncommonly close to Pudukkottai is Viralimalai where there's a Peacock Sanctuary, where peacocks walk around on-road like hens and crows in various towns!!! 


MORE PUDUKOTTAI TEMPLES 


Close to Narttamalai is Kadambar malai where safe-havens of 11th to thirteenth C are organized. Close to it is Alurutti Malai where again, second C BC Jain Beds are found. However, more than the Jain Beds, much more, critical here is the mitigation model of Thirthankaras scratched at an amazingly high stature. It's indeed staggering to attempt to consider how any craftsman with an especially inventive limit, climb such a height, without dread and shape there!!! Regardless of anything else, how was the stage done in that muddled, unpleasant scene missing a lot of devices in seventh – eighth C??? 


Madhu Koil is another imperative asylum. It was re-worked by Nayaks in sixteenth – eighteenth C. The most stupefying variable here is the brilliant, versatile, uncommonly point-by-point, very expansive sculptural miracle. In this heap of asylums, etchings are found that give us data upon who created these safe-havens and when and for what? 


Taking everything into account, this is just a short record to introduce Pudukkottai. There is altogether more history and nature related with Pudukkottai and much more places to see, withstanding models from second C BC to nineteenth C ad standing one close to the next with places of refuge and woodlands too!!! Right when you take the untrodden way, nobody can truly determine what you'll adventitiously discover and what will amaze you!!!
