Dear Swamins Ref : Chozha Nadu Divya Desams Photos The presentation of photos were Execellent .Especially with the Chariot Tiruvezalkoorru Erukkai in Car form was best . The elephants pulling the thayar sannadhi was a treat to watch! If I remember correct in 1976-77 in Srirangam Excavations were carried out near Thayar sannidhi at srirangam and the excavations revealed a similar structure shown in your photos .Subsequently the the Thayar sannnidhi exacavations again recovered as it was posing a problem to the very foundations as the the structures were quite deep So it was covered up facilitating devotees to have clean access to temple and avoiding climbing stair case like steps in front of the Mettu Azhazingar Sannadhi. But I do not rember what happend at that time in Srirangam as I was busy in trichi with my office work. Probably learned elders may be able to say why the excavation was done and subsequently closed.
