‘Gana Thilakam’


Kanthalur Sala, comprising the Kanthalur Mahadevar temple, which is believed to be a temple of the trinity of Murties — Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara, and the longest agraharam in South India, which once was the centre of Vedic and Sanskrit pandits under whom even foreigners such as Max Mueller were enlightened to the glory of the Vedas and Sanskrit.

The residents of the Agraharam still preserve traditional values, though the day-to-day lifestyle in our country and society is changing drastically.

The VYASA Residents’ Association of Valiasalai honoured S Mahadevan by presenting Gana Thilakam award. Flute Vidwan Sri K Sivaramakrishna Iyer presented the award to Mahadevan.
