Heritage Walk
Margazhi Mylapore and Triplicane are strictly inseparable, almost joint at the hip — like New Orleans and its jazz festival or the carnival in Rio. During the season, the streets are decorated with more kolams than the eye can see, mada veedhis are filled with the sounds of bhajans and kritis early in the morning, and the area’s strong connection with Carnatic music is reinforced. In this regard, we are organizing a Heritage walk to experience the streets of Mylapore and Triplicane (event details enclosed below).

EVENT 2: Kolam & Photography Competition:
(STRICTLY TRADITIONAL PULLI KOLAM ONLY)
Kōlam is a daily women’s ritualistic art form created by South Indian women. Each day before dawn, during the Brahma muhurtam and sometimes before dusk, millions of women in the town, villages and cities draw kōlam on the thresholds and floors of houses, temples and businesses. In our culture, the threshold is of great significance as the meeting point of the internal and the external, and kōlam is one of the many manifestations of that significance.
