It is estimated to be over 700 years old
Archaeological enthusiasts from Tiruppur recently discovered in a small temple near Udumalpet a Pandya-era stone structure containing inscriptions, which is estimated to be over 700 years old.
A team from Virarajendran Archaeological and Historical Research Centre, led by its director S. Ravikumar, found the stone structure at Ganapathipalayam village near Udumalpet on April 14. Mr. Ravikumar said the stone structure bore the image of Sundarar, one of the 63 Nayanars, which was evident as a crocodile was seen sculpted below his image. The crocodile denotes the folklore of Sundarar praying to Lord Shiva at Avinashi to save a boy, who was stuck in the mouth of a crocodile, he said.
