Tamil and Vattezhuthu inscriptions, belonging to the late 9th Century period, have been found at a Vishnu temple in Velankudi village in Sivaganga district.
“The Tamil inscriptions belong to the period of early Pandyas. It could be the late 9th Century or the beginning of the 10th Century. The Tamil words are deeply engraved,” said P. Murugan, a research scholar of the Department of Archaeology, who found the inscriptions.
