we are also planning for a trekking in western ghats, thinking of you in mind. Join us to make it a worthwhile experience.

the event is self-supportive and we are making every effort to make it cost effective.

Travel

Even If it is in Uttaramerur or Thirukazhukundram, we can see these faces. I had a trip last month through some of the villages in Kanchipuram district. I also visited some of the old temples with my professor.

Magnificent example of the beauty and scope of the Kalamkari tradition of painting, this unique hand painted tapestry measuring 20 mtrs. In length and 9 mtrs. In width, illustrates an equally majestic literary epic, the RAGHUVAMSHAM of Kalidasa. RAGHUVAMSHAM narrates the history of the entire Suryavanshi Ikshvaku line of Kings descended from sage Manu.

The Music Of Indian Craftsman

The Music of The Indian Craftsman
The click-clack of the bamboo handloom
The melody of a bamboo flute
The scrape and knock of the chisel carving wood
Sounds of the saw and sandpaper
Evoking melodies of their own.

Koothadar: He might be still continuing

Sunday, February 24, 2008 4:57:09 PM

He is writing... He might be still writing his new stories. Sitting at the pavement in the bus stand.
We reached there by six in the morning. Shops were yet to open…the busy township of uttaramerur were yet to awake to their daily routine in life. The lone man sitting at the pavement, frivolously continue to fill up his notebook with steady blue letters caught our attention. He was busy weaving the plots for his new drama.
