The Kolam contest is the one of the events in the Annual Mylapore Margazhi festival. The festival is led by the TVS Group who is the main organizer. The festival concluded this year on January 8th. Over a period of four days the festival brings out the culture of the Tamilians and their traditions which are slowly getting forgotten. Kolam contest and of late Rangoli contest are two of the big attractions. During this festival various experts lead the Heritage Buildings Walk in and around Mylapore, Mylapore Temples Walk, Food Walk where we are shown some of the oldest food outlets that have been there for more than 7 decades and still going on in the same tradition. There are also events showcasing folk music, classical music, folk dances and classical dances such as Bharatnatyam.

I have been photographing this festival over several years and even this year. However, this season my concentration was on portraiture of people who had come to the festival.

Hope you like the album.
