The western region (Cēra Nāṭu) accounts for the second highest number of sites with Tamil-Brāhmī inscriptions. Here again it is significant that most of the inscriptions in this region (12 out of 21) come from Pugalur near Karur, the ancient Cēra capital. Another significant feature is that all but one inscription from this region belong to the Late Tamil-Brāhmī Period.
