Thyagaraja Temple, Thiruvarur – Stone Chariot (Kal Ther)

Thyagaraja Temple, Thiruvarur – Stone Chariot (Kal Ther)
Thiruvarur is the place where Manuneethi Chola, an epic King ruled once. His son killed a calf inadvertently under his chariot. The mother of the calf rang the bell kept for seeking justice and the King punished his son in the very same way the calf was killed. The stone chariot demonstrating the event is present in the temple with a lively expression of the calf.
