Different communities at the fest

When Saraswathi, a scocial worker informed us that the gypsies, who shared the platform with the girls of Stella Maris college last year, remembered us, we were moved.

The Art street on Pitchupillai Street has always been a favourite place among the festival venues. The small art and craft items done exclusively for the festival by the college girls attract women of the locality. Young girls sit down to apply mehandi on thier palm.

The residents of the street mingle with the girls and offer their front yard for storing the items they bring for the fest. Ranjana Tailors, who stitch dance costume still has the painting done by the girls last year on his wall!

What else can be accommodated in the art street? How would you like the street to be during the festival, which is already a typical Mylapore street? Share it with us.
