Greetings all

I'm planning to write a short historical piece about the trilithons 
on the Adyar estate, and want to know if anyone on this list knows of 
a source of information about them.

A trilithon is an arch made of 3 pieces of stone in a rectangular 
shape and there are 5 of them at Adyar, carved with various beings 
and figures. The little information I have says they were obtained by 
Colonel Olcott from one or more princes in the neighborhood. They are 
very weighty, so it must have been a considerable effort to move them 
and re-erect them.

There's extremely little about them on the internet, from an initial 
search, so a few comments from the historically-minded on the list, 
some references, or the names of people who might have the 
information in their collections, would be very appreciated.

Best wishes
Murray
