Visit to Pallavaram Kudaivarai
Hi kamal, Yes, it is a pity. ASI might not have acquired it because it might become a communal problem and there are always forces waiting for such things to happen - you can understand. By the way - are there any sculptures you could see ??

Rajaraja and the 11

Name of Periya Pazhuvettarayar
I thought his name was Kandan Maravan ! Not sure - need to refer Pazhuvoor Pudhaiyalgal by dr.R.Kalaikkovan in which he details the chronology. By the way, Kaalanthaka kandar is an imaginary character:-)
