6 Chola era stone carvings found in Tiruvannamalai

[Spartan]

Six stone inscriptions including three damaged were found at the nondescript Rayandapuram in Tiruvannamalai district. These inscriptions were said to date back to the Chola period.

The inscriptions found on the way to Rayandapuram on the banks of Thenpannaiyaru River at the ancient Siva temple, depict the gifts given to the temple to sustain its puja, especially in keeping the lamps burning.

The group of experts including T. M. Prakash, S. Balamurugan, Sridharan, Madan Mohan and Sudhakar discovered the stone inscriptions on a rock. Of the six that were found only three were said to be in good condition and the inscription on them portrayed the number of goats gifted to the temple of Lord Siva and Goddess Kananangai.

From the inscriptions it can be known that Rajagandapuram has become Rayandapuram. The Siva temple still contains the Sodasalingam with Pattai Avudaiyar and Chandikeshwar idols.

Though the old structure of the temple does not exist, this temple was known as Thirukurang kovil temple in the past.

Chola period was in particular significant for the development of Telugu literature under the patronage of the rulers. It was the age in which the great Telugu poets Tikkana, Ketana, Marana and Somana enriched the literature with their contributions. Tikkana Somayaji wrote Nirvachanottara Ramayanamu and Andhra Mahabharatamu. Abhinava Dandi Ketana wrote Dasakumaracharitramu, Vijnaneswaramu and Andhra Bhashabhushanamu. Marana wrote Markandeya Purana in Telugu. Somana wrote Basava Purana.Tikkana is one of the kavitrayam who translated Mahabharata into Telugu language.^[210]
