It was outskirts of the town filled with dwellings of working class people but it occured to someone there to have a statue for one of the greatest modern tamil poet, Mahakavi Bharati, however modest and haphazardly done with the cement, it was still a wonderful sight.

It looked as if the tiger was behind the bushes, and the old home appears to be lost in a jungle.

Motion blur worked well in the picture I thought as it brought an element of action. I happened to click when he’s almost at the middle of the frame.

Amazing to see how these are carved over multiple blocks of sandstones and still well fitted.
Also can see how they are trying to restore the damages.

This sculpture was hidden among the encroachments but revealed once they’re cleared recently. It’s a rare sculpture depicting the mythical story where Lord Shiva slayed a demon that came in the form of elephant. This Puthu Mandapam was built during the early 1620 CE Nayak rule.

These sculptures were made around 8th Century. Labels in Vatteluttu script apparently indicates some of these images were made in memory of departed souls. Many Jain Ascetics lived in these hills back in those years.

He is likely an immigrant labor talking to his family members back home. These installations were done for the Deepavali festivities.
