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.

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.

Nandhi is always positioned facing God Shiva traditionally. This statue was facing Darbhar (Royal court) inside the palace complex which housed temples as well.

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