Abstract

Abstract: The Western Tamilnadu is bestowed with higher incidences of hero-stones distributed in its districts of Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tirupur, Karur, Dindigul, Erode, Salem, Namakkal Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri. Due to the impacts of Karnataka (or Kerala), the hero-stones identified from this region are mostly of ‘Three-tier Hero-Stones’ wherein the lower tier depicts the heroic activity of deceased hero in the earthly abode, the middle tier exhibits the deceased hero being lifted to other world by celestial maids and the upper tier shows the deceased hero in other world, worshipping the Almighty.
