ATHIKOSA MEMORIAL STONE
During our visit to the Kongu Chozha period Temples, near Dharapuram, Mr Thenkongu Sadhasivam, took us to this Adhikosa relief stone kept near a Shiva Temple at Kannadhiputhur near Kozhumam & Udumalpet. The Athikosa relief stone has the reliefs on both sides. On one side reliefs of Elephant, Horse, tools and war weapons like, Angusa, Knife, katar, arrow, bow, hammer, etc,.

It was told that the Merchants were permitted to have their own army to safe guard their animals, goods from the robbers / thieves. This sort of Athikosa stones are erected on the trade route.
VINAYAGAR
Also we had seen a a beautiful Vinayagar statue on the banks of a water channel. It had damage on hands, head, pasa and ankusa. etc,.
AYYANAR
Then we had seen an Ayyanar sculpture on the back side of the Shiva Temple on the same Village Kannadiputhur in the thorny bush. The Ayyanar is in sitting posture with left leg up with yaga patti. His consorts are not shown or sculptures are not seen in that area.
