EVOLUTION OF SAIVAISM & ITS EARLY DEVELOPMENTS IN TAMIL NADU
I have a slightly different understanding. As far as I know, the shiva worship started even as early as 3000 BC with indus valley - there shiva was worshipped as "pasupathy". He is not exactly lord shiva as we know him today - but the see…

Dear SB Interesting details. What is the period of this coin and whose coin is it anyway ? I'm not fully comfortable with this new kallanai idea because at that time only uraiyur was famous. i don't think thanjapuri - the modern tanjore …

Hi Sruthi Should have provided the detail in the story itself.Sorry. Madai was one of the type of coins in usage during that era. Kazhanju kasu madai - all are different grades of coins. Rajarajan madai and uthamachozhan madai were used in chola …

Can anybody clear my doubt????
Hi Sruthi, It is baseless. Rajaraja was at the peak of his success towards his end and there was no need for him to commit suicide and all that :-)) He lived a great life and rested in peace. But rumours like this are not new. Till the beginning …

Mylai Kapaleeswar
The irukkuvelir community of kodumbalur were ardent followers of kaalamukha since day one. They should have been instrumental in bringing this influence upon cholas - who did not evince any special interest in kaalamukha in early days. The most fam…
