- The plates and 23 panchaloha idols were unearthed near the west gopuram entrance of the Thoniappar Temple, also called Sattainathar Temple, in Sirkazhi, Mayiladuthurai district.
- Each plate has 10 to 12 lines of hymns, engraved by different scribes, with inscriptions on both sides and no specific sequence.
