Indhra Aaram
  • Hi friends,

    It's known story that Raja Simha II hid Pandiya crown and Indhra aaram in Rohana hills. Then Rajendra bought them back to Thamilagam. Iwonder whathappened tothe royal jewels thereafter.

    Just now i found that Indhra aaramwas mentioned to be worn by Kulasekara Pandiyan and Sundara Pandiyan, the contemporaries of Kulothunga III, in their meikeerthis.

    "சுந்தர மார்பினில் ந்திரன் பூட்டிய
    ஆரமும் அலங்கலும் அழகுடன் திகழ"

    "லங்கொளி மணிமுடி ந்திரன் பூட்டிய
    பொலங்கதிர் ஆரம் மார்பினிற் பொலியப்"

    Is this the Indhra aaram brought back by Rajendra? Scholors, please throw some light on this.

    the later ref you have cited in incomplete : Kulasekara meikerthi simply
    mentions that he came from such a lineage....as is seen from the next line.

    "மரபினில் வந்த மணிமுடி சூடி"

    I cannot find the ref in SundaraPandya Meikeerthi for the Haram. can you
    provide the verse
  • I think it could be said by the vijay sir, who wrote an article about the aram.

    Thanking You

  • It is quite possible that it could be found in the treasures found in the vaults of Lord Padmanabaswamy Temple or waiting to be discovered in another temple.

    I dont think this was mentioned in the British or Muslim chronicles, so must be waiting for discovery somewhere in India!
  • Hi Shashwath,

    I agree with you. It is quite possible!!

    But lets hope and pray, it is awaiting to be discovered somewhere down there....

Howdy, Stranger!
