Sittanavasal, Trichy
Located at a distance of
58-km from Trichy is Sittanavasal, a site of an ancient Jain
monastery with fine fresco paintings in a rock cave. Many of
them are typical of the 9th century Pandyan period and include
exquisitely detailed pictures of animals, fish, ducks, people
gathering lotuses from a pond and two dancing figures. There are
also inscriptions dating back to the 9th and 10th centuries.
Fresco paintings from the 7th century can be seen on the ceiling
of the Ardhamandapam.
There are many pre-historic burial sites around Sittanavasal and among the relics unearthed are burial urns, cists and Kurangupatarai.
