“KAZHUGU MALAI”The Eagle Hill – A Hidden Wonder
There’s a place called Eagle Hill,
Near a town so calm and still.
Nestled close to Kovilpatti’s side,
Where ancient wonders gently hide.
Cave temple carved
in stone so deep,
Where silent gods and spirits sleep.
With art that shines through time and age,
Each wall a story,
each rock a page.
One temple stands,
yet few may know,
Vettuvan Koil, carved long ago.
Not famous like
the rest you see,
But holds its own great mystery.
From top to bottom, stone was scooped,
By Pandya kings
with skill well put.
In the eighth century,
it came alive,
A marvel of art
that still survives.
Jain carvings join this sacred place,
With beauty time cannot erase.
To truly feel its ancient might,
You must go and see this hidden sight.
Among Tamil Nadu’s treasure heap,
This silent hill keeps its secrets deep.
Only by standing there, you’ll see,
It’s quiet, carved divinity.
