Tamil Nadu Wall Art

Tamil Nadu at its most festive: the temple elephant waiting at the gopuram gate, the temple car pulled through the streets, the Pongal pot boiling over at sunrise and the decorated bullock of Mattu Pongal. The weavers of Kanchipuram at the pit loom, Thanjavur dancing dolls in a craft shop, Athangudi tiles drying in a Chettinad yard and a Toda buffalo in the Nilgiris. A land that celebrates in colour, each scene printed on canvas. On the coast, the Pichavaram mangroves, the Danish fort at Tharangambadi at sunrise and the salt pans of Thoothukudi at dusk; inland, Agaya Gangai Falls in the Kolli hills.
