About the village
Perumukkal village has 6000 years old heritage. The historical importance of the village is the presence of 4000 B.C.E. Petroglyph, 7th century Mukthialeeswarar Temple, ruined Kamatchiamman temple and a Dargah.
Petroglyph
On the top of the hill, petroglyphs are found in a cave namely, Sita Cave. Local people believe Sita lived in this cave. This is the only petroglyph found in Tamil Nadu and also it is one among the four in India. These petroglyphs are similar to the Egyptian Hieroglyphics letters and hence it is dated to 4000 B.C. But some researchers dated to megalithic.[2]
