About paDikOlam-15 : PRINT

The paDi in paDikOlam represents a step. Where do we find steps? We find them in the temple tanks. So in a way, paDikOlam is a paDikuzham! I found two such unuusual tanks in south India. They are in neigbouring states, not on the coast. Normally I don't mix up paDikOlams. This is an exception. One is in square shape with intricate architercture in the design of steps. I am representing the aerial view. The other is in an octagonal form. Here is my idealisation of both. Can you find the locations of these? Regards! - mOhana

Nice idea to show them side by side. This is going to take me a few days, but I'm sure you wouldn't mind it. Smile
