Dear sps/venkat: Reg the issue of whether there is any connection between karuvuraar and RRC, I asked this question to Dr.Kudavayil Balasubramanian some time back and he replied negatively saying that this is more of imagination than being one supported with any evidence..further the karuvuraar temple that we find inside the Big temple may perhaps been added later... i thought you may let me share this information with you and frankly I am a novice in chola history...and want to learn it thoroughly.. heard from Kalinga balu that the event was great grand event and i feel sorry to have missed it..he assured that we would get details in the group mails..
