Three places identified in Erode for establishing museum to display artefacts unearthed at Kodumanal

The district administration has identified three places for establishing a museum at a total cost of ₹10 crore to display artefacts that were unearthed during the previous excavations at Kodumanal in Chennimalai Union. On November 30, 2022, the government notified five sites – ‘menhir’ on government poramboke ‘vandi pathai’, a habitation site on Public Works Department land, two megalithic burial sites on PWD land and a megalithic burial site on government land. A government order was passed and the State Department of Archaeology has placed two noticeboards, one near the ‘menhir’ and the other outside a burial site on the PWD land, declaring the monuments as of historical importance. A government order was passed recently and the Revenue Department has identified three places in the district of which one would be selected and finalised.
