Reference
ARE, 25/1940-41.
Remarks
The record, though found in the Siva temple, mentions the names of two Jains of Tiruppagambûr (Karantai). A Chola inscription (ARE, 33/1940-41) from the same Siva temple refers to some pallichchandam land, made tax - free. Hence, a Jaina temple should have been there either at Sakkaramallūr or nearby. The ancient name of the village was Chakramūdür.
