In a remarkable effort towards preserving ancient heritage, a group of youths from Thanjavur have successfully restored a thousand-year-old Shiva Lingam in the Choladharam area near Srimushnam, Cuddalore district. The restoration was part of a broader initiative led by the Aran Pani Trust, which is focused on reviving and protecting historic Shiva Lingams across Tamil Nadu.
The ancient Shiva Lingam, believed to date back over a millennium, was found buried deep in the soil amidst trees before the dedicated team from Thanjavur restored it. The work by Aran Pani Trust has been hailed as a significant contribution to preserving Tamil Nadu’s rich cultural and religious history.
