    Nice find Sra! What is the statue made of? It looks hollow.

    I always thought it was cement or whatever they use to make this, Sig! I don't know, I guess.

    Where's this statue located Sra? For some reason, I thought one would find Ayyanars only in rural/ interior TN.

    It is an interesting find. He doesn't look very happy with his missing appendage and I can understand.

    Sig, there, you got your reply!
    Mamatha, no, I've seen at least one more in Chennai itself. It's in Anna Nagar.
    Siri, :)
    Jaya, I read that this statue was built in 1966!!!
