A stone inscription, explaining the water crisis in Chennai in 1818 and the 27 wells dug by British Civil Servant and Tamil Scholar F.W. Ellis, is in the Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal Museum in Madurai. Tamil Official Language and Tamil Culture and Archaeology Minister Thangam Thennarasu and Madurai MP Su. Venkatesan, who inspected the renovation work at the Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal, also viewed the inscription on Saturday. “It is a treasure since unlike the British period inscriptions, it is in beautiful Tamil verse. Ellis, who translated Tirukkural in English, had also included a couplet from Tirukkural in the inscription,” said Mr. Venkatesan.More Related News
