- The state government has finally decided to allot 78 cents of land for the construction of a site museum in Keeladi to display the artefacts that an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) team has excavated from the site.

It was in 2014 that the ASI Bengaluru team, headed by K Amarnath Ramakrishna, began excavation on oneand-a-half-acres of the 80 acre site on the banks of River Vaigai, 13km from Madurai.
