But Trade was also carried out through western ports on the Arabian sea.
Chera kings used this route.
But for the Chola's,whose Ports were in the East,had to reach the western ports .
And they used Kumbakonam as the Entry point to the western Ports.
The early Chola,Karikal Valavan held Court in Kumbakonam.
Two stones "Suryagaanthakkal" and "Chandragaanthakkal" which are placed at strategic points above the Vimana are the reasons for the droplets of water which falls on the deity.
