My first impression on #PS1 teaser #PonniyinSelvan1
1. Looks completely devoid of Shaivaite symbols. No Vibhooti/Thiruneeru on anyone's forehead.Cholas were stauch Shaivaites.. removing such symbols is a grave injustice.Remember Raja Raja called himself 'Sivapatha Sekaran' 1/n
2. Cholas were pioneers in engineering, spiritually, art, literature, democratic civic system, Navy. Yet, the teaser portrays them as some barbaric warlords
3. Chola's Shiva Bhakti is world renowned. Not an iota of this very important dimension is shown in the movie
2/n
In toto, looks like Manirathnam tried to make a secular version of Ponniyin Selvan. Kalki must be dejected wherever he is.

As we remember one of the greatest sons of this soil Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj on his birth anniversary, there is another great son whose contributions are long forgotten was also born today
Dr. U.Ve. Swaminatha Iyer
@narendramodi @annamalai_k @BJP4TamilNadu
Fondly called as Tamizh Thatha, he was instrumental in bringing to light the forgotten Tamizh literary classics like Silapathikaram, Seeva Chintamani, Purananooru etc. thro' his five decade long dedication.
His contributions to one of the oldest living languages is unparalleled.
Born at Uthamadhanapuram near Kumbakonam, he collected over 3000 paper manuscripts, palm leaf manuscripts and other records which were lying for centuries in lofts, store rooms, cupboards by visiting all along the length and breadth of TN.

Puduthurai Shiva temple: Puduthurai is a small village located near Thirunagari on Seerkazhi-Sattanadhapuram route in Seerkazhi dt, TN.
Here lies a 11th century large Shiva temple in highly dilapidated state
@punarutthana @TheSaveTemples @ReclaimTemples
It is very heart wrenching to see most of the temple structure completely collapsed. This temple is a treasure of inscriptions which give huge details on contributions/grants given to this temple by several Chola kings like Utthama Chola, Raja Raja Chola and Vikrama Chola.
Incidentally, Raja Raja Chola is referred as Siva Padha Sekharan. Vikrama Chola is the earliest and he ruled over this region during 11-12 AD. Looking at the inscriptions, we understand Vikrama Chola had contributed land and gold. Possibly this temple must be even older.
