Dear colleagues,

Has anyone personally visited Tirumukkūḍal in the Madhurantakam taluk of the Chingleput district (here, I think)?  There is temple there to Viṣṇu Veṅkaṭēśa-Perumāḷ that has an inscription that was reported on by Subrahmanya Ayyar of Coimbatore, in EI 21.  The temple has an inscription describing the funding, establishment, and organisation of a clinic or hospital. 

What I would like to know is whether there are any visible or archaeological signs that this institution was built, rather than just being legislated for.  I see no reason to doubt that it was built, but I am wondering about physical remains.

If you have been there, I'd be grateful for any observations.

Best, and with thanks,

Dominik Wujastyk
