Pallikonda is a selection grade town panchayat in Vellore district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
Pallikonda hosts a large non-sepulchral megalithic assembly with a vast capstone supported by three equally enormous boulders.
The presence of the megalith was officially reported by Col. Congreve of the Madras Regiment in 1845 and was included in the book "Rude Stone Monuments" by J. Fergusson in 1872.
Cupules of a large cluster form direct sight-lines to the position of the stars Vega and Capella during solstice sun rise and sunset.
[3] The "Uttara Ranganathan" temple beside the Palar river bank has the deity "Anantashayana", the sleeping form of Vishnu.
