Tamil Nadu State Department of Archaeology (TNSDA) conducted a 12-day underwater survey off the Poompuhar coast focusing on the ancient port city of Kaveripoompattinam.
The survey covered the stretch between Thirumullaivasal and Neithavasal and traced locations earlier identified by archaeologist S. R. Rao.
The collected data is under analysis, and a second phase of the survey is planned when sea conditions become favourable.
