Klappentext

The 26 inscriptions from the Coa Väam Ceyta Perum temple in Kanchipuram, an ancient rvaiava pilgrimage site, were first published in Tamil by G. Vijayavenugopal in 2024. This English translation enriches the original with photographs and several scholarly annotations. The inscriptions shed light on the temple's evolving significance for local communities from the tenth century onward, documenting the gradual emergence of rvaiava influence. This corpus of inscriptions demonstrates how temple epigraphy deepens our understanding of individual temples' roles in both local and transregional religious history.
