Battlefields
  • Hi
    I had the opportunity of transversing punjab from (south to north) in
    one stretch on road yesterday, travelling from delhi to
    himachalpradesh.
    went into kurushethra and panipet but very little remains of the
    battlefields.( i hadnt done my research prior to it or I could have
    visited the lodi tomb)
    Just started wondering.
    where are the historic battlefields of tamilnadu.?
    SPS can you enlighten us?

  • If my memory is correct, I know one field near thanjavur which is
    called "Kovil Venni" where there was a war between Pallava and
    Chalukya. And I this this is mentioned in "Raja Thilagam" by
    Sandilyan.

    I may be wrong.
  • Was this is also the place "Venni" where it is said Karikalan beat 11
    Velir's ?
    It is in a book called Thennatu porkalankal! I will check the book and try
    to post a list of battlefields
  • Dear SPS,

  • Yes that place between Tanjore to Tiruvarur ( via and before Needaamangalam) will come after Ammapetai. Now its a small village.

Howdy, Stranger!
