Great south Bharath Canal Opening (1/2)

February 1675

Akhand Bharatiya Empire, Cholapuri State, Velur

A carriage bearing the emblem of Shanku Chakra, and an entourage of royal guards following closely behind, passed by on a rural two-lane road, earning namaskaras and kowtows in whichever village or town they passed.

Entering the main road of Velur, the royal family was welcomed by the sight of thousands of people walking in one direction, almost taking up the whole road like they were on a pilgrimage. Thankfully, seeing the saffron flag flowing like fire on the carriage, the crowd gave way immediately.
