cataloguing of manuscript catalogue
I was just going through the Sarasvati Mahal things.. What is surprising is that these museums dont sell replicas or collectibles. I have visited museums and science parks abroad and they sell replicas and collectibles. The money made can be used f…

Life of palm leaf manuscripts - say 50 - 100 years? But the text below says that some 8000 verses were engraved in copper plates... may be it is still hidden somewhere... Even if the palm leaf manuscripts have crumbled, we could be able to salvage…

Mediaeval Manuscript Library at Chidambaram
Man, this is very interesting... Any chances that some of the manuscripts may still be lying in a hidden room in that temple? Egyptologists are using ground penetrating radars to scan for such hidden things... why cant we explore our monuments in …

Any English / Tamil translation of these great Telegu works? Did the Telegu's ever perform cleansing ( like that of Tamil getting rid of Sanskrit words / Manipravala nadai )?

About Rarajan Pallipadai :: Annaul Epigraphy Report
Why did the cholas that came after RRC neglect the BT? Afterall, the BT is really the biggest temple ever built by the cholas . Unless RJC had such a conflict or disrespect for his father, I dont see any reason why he would abandon the BT. He migh…
