Take the following as truth: The Hall of 1000 Pillars (in fact only 997) is in the northeast corner, full of carved, bizarre lion-elephants, and the Pandava brothers, the heroes from the Mahabharata from whom the Madurai Pandyas claim descent.
Then the following statement: "There used to be 1000 pillars in the hall, but three were destroyed over the years." is true, false, or inconclusive?
