Two epigraphists have discovered inscriptions referring to a collapsed temple dating back to the Chola era near Lalgudi in Trichy district.
It refers to an ancient temple which probably existed during the Chola period.
They estimated that the period of the lost temple to be 11th century.
The inscription states that the village administrative body met at the courtyard of Thiru Ayotthiyalvar temple during the rule of Kulotthunga I Chola to carry out administrative activities.
