- The Rock Fort / Ucchi Pillayar Temple, Trichy/Tiruchirappalli
Date of Inauguration of PPP - December 20, 1981
This postmark is available at Trichy Philatelic Bureau. Rock Fort or Ucchi Pillayar koil, is a combination of two famous 7th century Hindu temples, one dedicated to Lord Ganesh and the other dedicated to Lord Shiva, located a top of a huge rock in Trichy, India. Geologically the 83m high rock is said to be one of the oldest in the world, dating over 3 billion years ago. The name rock fort comes from the fact that the place was used for military fortification first by the Vijayanagar emperors and later by the British during the Carnatic wars. The temple is now maintained by the Archaeological Department of India.
