ayyaa.....unga kala katunga....
You are terrible SPS. Seyal Puyal Sundar....as always... :)

talking about the much recent history (16/17 century is much recent
than the chola period we often talk about :) )...

I remember an inscription in Tiruvanmayur Marundeeswarar koil...just
at the entrace, which talks about the grants to the temple. I think it
was from 1905 or so year...The grants are really huge. I dont remember
the area covered...

Can you/venkat/vijay or someone highlight the more recent inscriptions
from any temple in TN?
