Any pointers to Rajendra's inscriptions found in Orissa / Bengal and overseas ? With photographic evidence, I guess, it should be an interesting article for www.varalaaru.com. If any team member wants to go in for an expedition in search of these inscriptions ( and also to the Himalayas where a Chola passage is supposed to be in place ) I will join them. Please let me know.
