1. Sundara Cholan ruled from Nandhipuram - near Thirukkandiyur; 2. He and his wife died and Vananavanmadeswaram Pallipadai was built there; 3. This Nandhipuram is different from Pazhayarai Nandhipuram 4. Pon maligai exited there which was destroyed by Maalikapur : Amir Kusru : " .. On 15.3.1311, Maalikapur invaded Dwarasamudram... The Hindu King was deserted by his Muslim followers .. He escaped to Kandiyur .. He caught 250 elephants .. Destroyed the Temple .. Heavenly looking PON temple and looted heaps precious stones..On 4.4.1311 he destroyed the City and within 5 days reached Madurai"
5. Veerapandya II ascended to throne and ruled this place till 1380. 6. This is on the route of : Chidambaram - Mayavaram - Srirangam where Muslims invaded and caused heavy damages. 7. For example Rajakesari Chathurvedi mangalam has become Rajagiri with full muslim population.
Dear SB, The new Nandhipuram - Pallipadai - rettaikoil - Kudavoil keep popping up repeatedly in your recent mails. Will it be possible to post any article of Kudavoil in this topic (just like you scanned and posted tanjore temple related pages?) We will be able to appreciate your points in better light if we have this info. Thanks in advance Gokul.S
