A Journey to the Ancient Mallachandram Dolmens

By Admin

Unveiling the Mystery of Our Past

Have you ever wondered about the ancient civilizations that once roamed our land? One such glimpse into our past can be found in the Mallachandram Dolmens, near Ecoland Farms Krishnagiri the mysterious structures that have stood the test of time.

Dolmens are ancient stone structures, often used as burial sites or monuments. They are typically made of large, flat stones placed on upright stones, forming a simple chamber. These structures have been found worldwide, and they provide valuable clues about the lives and beliefs of our ancestors. It reminds the pyramids of Egypt for the ordinary folks

During a recent stay at Ecoland Farms, a serene farm stay near Bangalore, my dear friends and I decided to explore these fascinating dolmens. The journey to the site was an adventure in itself, not very far from the Farmstay. After driving through picturesque villages and lush green fields, we reached a seemingly ordinary spot.

We followed the winding trail, its gentle incline cloaked in the shade of wild custard apple trees and other unknown flora. A friendly cowherd we encountered confirmed our path and warned us about the challenging climb ahead. After a final trek of about fifteen minutes, we emerged into a clearing, revealing a breathtaking vista. Lush green fields stretched out as far as the eye could see, dotted with villages and farms. In the distance, industrial sheds marked the presence of modern civilization, yet our focus remained firmly on the true objective – the Mallachandram Dolmens.

These majestic structures, perched atop the bare rock face, resembled small square rooms constructed with thin granite slabs. A flat stone slab capped each chamber, with some even bearing a curious round hole on the side. The sight was captivating, yet deeply perplexing. How did these structures, seemingly defying gravity, find their way atop these hills?

The prevailing theory suggests these dolmens were built centuries ago, serving as burial chambers or commemorative sites for our ancestors. The numerous dolmens in various stages of decay, with scattered stones resembling forgotten building materials, only added to the mystery.

The rocks were primarily granite, which means it is not too easy to shape or to move around. Wonder what tools they used to cut these stones, how they transported them, and how they built them. What stories would have driven people so many centuries ago to create these structures? The people who built these structures are forgotten, and the reasons are forgotten, but the stones still stand here mute testimony to a commendable human effort from our ancient past. These are the kind of monuments that we need to preserve as it tells us the story of India, Gazing upon these megaliths, we couldn’t help but wonder about the technology employed by our ancient ancestors.

What tools did they wield?
How did they manage to shape such massive granite slabs?
What stories do these silent sentinels hold within their weathered stones?

Though the people who built these structures remain forgotten, their legacy endures. The dolmens stand as a testament to the remarkable human effort of a bygone era. They serve as a crucial link to our past, reminding us of the rich history that shaped our land. Climbing down the rock face was no easy feat, but the sense of accomplishment was immense.

As we retraced our steps back to Ecoland Farms, eager for a well-deserved lunch, the memory of the day stayed with us. It was an adventure filled with the thrill of exploration, a dose of mystery, and a renewed appreciation for the wonders of our ancient past.
