Maduravoyal
In Maduravoyal, the south side of "Madurai Nayakar Street", amateur archaeologists of Ayyavoo Nagar residents played discovered two rare inscriptions of the Telugu Cholas dating back to the 13th century while renovating an ancient Maha Shiva temple. The residents found these inscriptions when they were removing thick lime wash on the temple walls, as part of the renovation. The temple had been lime washed to yellow a few decades back, hiding the inscriptions. "It is a rare finding of the Telugu Chola period", the name of village called Maduravoyal .
Written in Tamil, the inscriptions have been dated to the period 1246–1249 CE during the reign of Vijayakandangopalan of Telugu Cholas. Vijayakandangoplan, who ruled for 25 years from 1242 CE, was a famous feudatory ruler of the Cholas, and had marriage relations with them. The Telugu Cholas reigned between the seventh and thirteenth centuries and adopted the title of Chola to show the feudatory status they had under the Chola-Chalukya rulers. The Chinese traveller Yuan Chwang referred to the Telugu Cholas as "Chuliyas".
Inscriptions found at the temple refer to two contributions made by the ruler on two different occasions for the purpose of temple maintenance. In the first instance, Vijayakandangoplan donated four cows and a huge lamp for illuminating the temple in 1246 CE. Three years later, he again contributed large acres of farmland in Sembakkam, a village in Singalur of Tiruvallur district. In the inscription, he rules that revenue generated in the form of taxes from these lands should be spent for the maintenance of the temple. "In ancient times, temples acted not only as places of worship but, also as registration offices, schools, and assemblies of elders".
