Here comes the beautiful pictures from the ride & the destination - Ponchori Malai 😍 all wallpaper material 📱

Vividly lit Ponchori Malai & the road connecting to Veerapandi.

வயல்களெல்லாம் உழுது பண்படுத்தப்பட்டு மழையால் நனையக் காத்திருக்கின்றன.

The route was so beautiful, I couldn't stop taking pictures literally every 10 minutes.

The guardian idols, Munis, in the middle of the field 😍

A selfie with the Munis & a beautiful portrait of my cycle against the lit sky 💙💚

எங்க குல தெய்வம், பெரியாண்டிச்சி.

Our clan deity, Periyandichi. I've been seeing her through all my rides in the past but never went near.

But today, I didn't want to miss. In the next tweet you can see why :)

Because, just like the Munis, she's also kept in the middle of a field. I went inside the basil filled field to see the idol.

You can listen to the train whistling nearby 🚂

This place was basically an example of Tamil geographic classification.

The top the hill, Kurinji.
The bottom of the hill, Mullai.
The habitat & fields, Marudham.

No wonder Tamil Jain monks chose this place to chill 😁

Windows classic wallpaper feels only while I was there 😍 again some #wallpaper worthy pics📱

Apart from the traditional cash crops, sugarcane & rice, I saw many fields having lush onions. A new cash crop in town, due to the price hike it seems

How beautiful this cockscomb field is 🐓

கோழிக்கொண்டை தோட்டம் 😍

Near the horizon left: Bodhai Malai / Nayinaar Malai, rode via there already :)

Another wallpaper material with the huge blue star like gap created by the clouds at the top.

As I was trying to go over the hill some local people suggested me to take this route to go to Ponparappi where the monuments are located.

Here it is. The broken sign board to reach Ponchori Malai Jain monument!

-no one knows the way, because there is no way.

-no one knows who owns it, as there is dispute between TN State Archeological Dept, Madurai Jain Society & Namakkal Dt Admin.

@mafoikprajan fix pls?

State of a 2,500 year old monument! 😭

The road to monument goes via a crematorium & into a deep routeless forest!

2,500 ஆண்டு பழமையான தொல்லியல் களத்தின் நிலை! 😭

தொல்லியல் களத்திற்குச் செல்லும் சாலை சுடுகாட்டிற்குச் சென்று பாதையற்ற காட்டுக்குள் செல்கிறது!

அதிகார‌வரம்பு சிக்கல்களால் இப்படி கேட்பாரின்றி கைவிடப்பட்டுள்ளது 2,500 பழமையான தொல்லியல் களம்!

These grandmas told me, "monthly 10 - 20 people come here & ask us the direction to go to the Jain monument. We show them the route but because it's all bushy & thorny they just come back in few mins".

We must care for our Tamil history #பொன்சொரி
