The New stone inscriptions are deciphered by the Tamilnadu state archaeology department at Suththa Rathneswarar temple in Oottathur village of Trichy.
The temple had been believed to belong to the period of Vikrama Chola (1118-1135).
But new stone inscriptions show that the temple is in existence since the reign of Parantaka Chola I (907-955).
12 stone inscriptions were found at the temple during an inspection.
Out of the five fully readable inscriptions, four were inscribed during the Cholas and one during the Pandyas.
