The Visit to this Hero Stone at Roland Nagar, Gundri was a part of “Hero Stones and Megalithic Monuments Visit in and around Gundri”, in Erode District, on 29th August 2022.
This Hero Stone is little different from the other Hero Stones available at Gundri. This Hero stone is of 3 tiers and broken on the left side. In the Lower level, two persons are shown. May be he Hero and his wife. On the right side the “Hero” is shown without head, The hero is holding the head in the right hand and left hand is on his hip. The head is shown little away from the neck. How the head was cut and the reason for cutting is not known.
In the second tier, two Deva kannis are shown on both sides of the hero. This signifies that Deva Kannis are taking the hero to Shiva Loga.
In the third tier the hero is worshiping a Shiva Lingam.
Since this hero stone is highly eroded, the details could not be identified. At one angle the Hero also looks like a anthropomorphic figure. The Hero stone measures 50 CM in width and 1 meter in height.
