SWAMIMALAI on the North. PATTESWARAM on the South. Thanjai - West and Kudanthai - East.
Towards Patteeswaram - after Level crossing - the Vaazhaithope (Plaintain Grove) and the Aaalamaram ( Banian Tree)with lots of Trisuls - seen on the Left hand side - known as VANAPATTARAI ( Cracker den) IS THE PLACE EXACTLY WHERE THE PAZHAYARAI PALACE existed...
Even today while ploughing the land and digging for construction some ancient brick - broken pot piece or copper coin is found... We can see huge quantities of Old pot pieces anytime after ploughing.. all around.
Here after demolishing the Palace - Sundara Pandia ploughed the land with Donkeys and seeded gigilee (yel)... varahu etc., (see his meykeerthi)...
Farther South, the road branches towards East - south - East (kind of Z )- which leads to Patteswaram temple... on the Southern side.. about 200 Meters North Sathimutram.... about 200 Meters farther South - Pazhayarai Vadathali ( cleared from Jain occupancy, re-opened and hymned by Appar) - about 1 Km farther Nandhipuram - another 1 Km farther south is Sivapathasekaramangalam @ Udayalur ! Nearby in abourt 3 Kms is Krishnan Raman's Amanngudi.
INSTEAD of taking the road branches towards East which leads to Patteswaram temple - if one looks on the West (Right Hand side), IRATTAI ANJANEYAR and Raman temple is seen. That road zig-zaggingly leads to Panchavanmadevi pallaippadai ...
Vehicle needs to be stopped about 100 meters and by crossing a private property (which paves narrow way to walk) the PALLIPADAI can be reached...
