10th March 2019.
After Thiruparkadal Temples Visit, on the way to Kaveripakkam, we happened to see this Hero Stone, Sati Stones and Harichandran bas- reliefs. I was little curious to know, how this Harichandra relief stone has come here at the entrance of the Village, since there was no burial or cremation ground nearby. The Villagers told that the deceased body will be brought here, pooja will be done to Arichandran and then the body will be taken to cremation / burial ground. ( It is believed that the Arichandran is the authority or the God for the cremation ground and with his permission only body has to be cremated ).
In the sati and Hero stones the heroes are holding weapons and their wives are holding pots ( மது குடுவை ) in their hands. The details could not be seen due to turmeric and kungum paste applied on the faces of the reliefs.
