Play Pallankuzhi!

So whats new at the Mylapore Fest?
This is what our well wishers ask.

The idea isn't to introduce 'new' things at this unique community fest. It is to keep it alive with a range of events which go with the character of this heritage zone.

So we got Dr. Balambal, a former history professor to guide us to set up a traditional games zone.
Pallankuzhi, Taya-kattam, Aadu-puli attam and parama-padam ( the snake and ladder game) will be available to all those who have long forgotten these simple but wonderful native games.

I re-discover the interiors of Mount Road, near the TVS area, to locate Kreeda's office to purchase these games for the fest. Kreeda is doing a nice job, popularising these games and even exporting them.

So, bring your grandma to the fest. She will enjoy a game and perhaps guide a little in the fun! ( We hope to have the games zone located off Ponnambala Vadyar Street), near the temple.
