1000-Year Old Shiva Lingam Restored by Aran Pani Foundation In Cuddalore District

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.

Efforts like this underscore the importance of community participation in conserving historical monuments as local volunteers and organizations come together to protect their heritage for future generations. The restoration of this Shiva Lingam has drawn appreciation from local devotees and heritage enthusiasts, highlighting the ongoing efforts to revive ancient temples and sacred sites in the region.
