The cave situated on the hill at Perumukkal (near Tindivanam in Viluppuram District) is notable for the rock carvings⁶ which cover the inside walls. The carvings resemble those at Edakal, Kerala.⁷ The Perumukkal cave, also like the one at Edakal, is not a Jaina establishment and there are no stone beds in it. A short label inscription is incised on a rock wall near the anthropomorphic carvings.
