The Adventure of the Maamandur Trails
Great ! Thought you guys will stop with official "yathirais". Never dreamt that you will decide to venture out to such obscure places (kaathu karupu edhavadhu adichida pogudhu!!) ... hmm...the enthu only seems to be on the increase day a…

Thilak, :-) I was wondering what was happening to you all this time, man - happy to see you back :-). I fully understand your concerns. My idea behind these mails is that we can atleast collect the material and keep it ready at our hands and take it…

Indian Paintings : Prof.Swami's Insights
Dear Prof.Swami, With respect to Raajarajeswaram paintings - I think the mistake is mine. I'd simply mentioned "Tanjore paintings" instead of being more specific. Infact, what I meant was only Tanjore periya koil paintings ! I was sl…

Paintings on the wall of Tanjore Temple
Forgot to add something - It was sri.Govindasamy (of ASI ?) who first discovered a layer of ancient chola paintings beneath the Nayak Paintings.

PS as comic work
Nanbargale, Thanks for all your inputs. Kamal : I am certainly not discouraged by Dr.N's remarks. I still have obsession with my old muthu/lion comics and whenever I go back to my home in Trichy I dig out all the comics and read them to my he…

Sudharsanam's Ideas on Cultural Atlas of Tamilnadu
For Interactions, I am just wondering whether we should have an e-group or a web based database wherein people can pour their inputs. The problem with e-group is that all information will be scattered across several emails and it is a painful task c…

Latha mahadevi :))
Nanbargale The name of Rajaraja's wife is not Latha (note that jana has typed as lata). In tamil, it is laada maadevi (kudirai laadam endru solvome - adhu pola pronounce pannungal) So, Latha aunty! latha aunty!...ennai mannithu vidavum :-)))…

PS Facts and Fiction - Kundavai Pirattiyar - Part I
Hi Guhan You are partially right in stating this - Narasimha did give his daughter to one of the chola princes. But neither the name of this pallava daughter nor the name of the price who married her are known to us. I have read several "Pallav…

Keralantakan
Anthakan means blind in tamil. Keralantakan means making cheras(kerala rulers) blind or destroyed. This was certainly a title of rajaraja. Pandiya kulachani should be read as Pandiya Kula nasini. This also carries almost a similar implication The ke…

PS Facts and Fiction - Kundavai Pirattiyar - Part I
Dear sundar Parthiban, Vikraman as well as Kundavi in Parthiban kanavu were imaginary characters. Infact, much of Parthibhan kanavu - characters as well as events - were Kalki's imagination unlike PS in which many facts blend with fiction. I ma…

Are Pazhuvettaraiyars Malayalees?
Pazhuvettaraiyars were from kerala. In those days, this was called malai nadu and was an integral part of tamilnadu or tamil speaking community. Dr.S.R.B provides a very detailed preview of paluvettaraiyers in his "Four chola temples" boo…

Dr.S.R.Balasubrahmanyam(SRB)
Dear Kamal, I took that info from the foreword of Raajarajeswaram book written by B.Venkatraman. The author says that his father had passed away when the book was published. Dr.SRB had many sons and I think there is one more guy who has written hi…

Sridhar - I've been thinking about this for quite some time. With the help of latest graphics tools available - it is quite possible to bring out PS as a comic. Atleast you need not draw the pictures for each and every frame - all replication w…

Hi Yagna Thanks a lot for the Info! What do you mean by laying out in Vazhai ilai? Do you mean the layout of the magazine or the designs of Maniyam for the first chapter? I've seen the original 1950 pages but I cannot recollect any Vazhai ilai …

Really sorry. The themes of these songs are so singular that I got confused.Thanks pavitra. But the song which I heard in National channel was certainly Sivagamiyin sabadham song - not that of Manimekalai's.

The Pudukottai Trip
Very good idea. There are quite a number of places to see around pudukottai and trichy - all associated with Pallavas and cholas. Try to concentrate on known as well as unknown places - ofcourse, subjected to time constraints. Visiting Mr.Kalaikovan…
