Sooriyanaar Koil, Oppliappan Temple, Swamimalai Temple Thirunageswarar temple are all near Aduthurai and are very popular with pilgrims. - ungrammatical. I can't edit it because I do not know exactly what it is saying.

it again changed its name to Tamil Nadu Rice Research Institute (TRRI) in 1981 and was elevated to Directorate for Rice, Lead Centre in 1985. - part following in 1981 and was does not make sense.

The other main statue is of Nandi, which faces the Shiva's statue is named as Baana Nanadi which is slightly dislocated from its original position, and lookes pored on its surface. The grammar is too confusing for me to understand the sentence.

It is believed the Nandhi was injured with Maruthuvasura's 'Baanas' — arrows, and protected Lord Shiva, which is a spectacular sight to see. Ditto.

This temple is performed with Kumbabishekam after 200 years. I have no idea what this means.

is consorts are the godessess Sreedevi and Boomidevi which is the place to visit and worship Again, I'm clueless.

The main Goddess is Kali, who is called Madhurakaliamman here, is one of the famous temple here. Ditto.

The Tamil Nadu Rice Research Institute receives prominent attention, but it is unclear why. Does this really need a section to itself?

It is quite amateurish to write in an encyclopedia which is a spectatular sight. Attach "spectacular" to the thing in question — e.g., the spectacular statue has... — if it truly is worth noting as spectacular, but my guess is there is a more appropriate word.

The mythology, which is frequently brought up, is very vivid, but it is unclear how it is related to all the temples. The stories might better be left in the articles of individual gods or in Hindu mythology. It is also difficult to understand because of how it is written, which is a pity because it seems fascinating.

It is difficult to understand the English in this article, especially in the Temples of Aduthurai section. Perhaps someone with a better command of English than the principal contributor should translate the article from its Indian version.

Much of the article is poorly structured. Rintrah 14:12, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Importance of Tamilnadu Rice Research Institute

I feel Tamilnadu Rice Research Institute shall be given much importance. It provides basic identity to the town. If needed, the Institute shall be given a separate page and a link in Aduthurai pointing to it.

[edit] Removal of sentences that don't make sense

I was copy-editing the article as per the tag, but have had a few issues as the page has obviously been translated from another language or written by someone who doens't speak english as their first language.

The following bits in red have been temporarily removed from the article as they do not make sense. If you are able to reword and put back in then please do so!
