We had an opportunity to visit Ahalya heritage village and museum on 31st October, 2023. I never knew that such a wonderful place showcasing our heritage and culture existed near Palakkad, my hometown. The place is located at the foot of the magnificent Western ghats and surrounded by the grandeur of the landscape. The village is very clean and beautifully designed. It was a great experience and time well spent. We were honoured to meet Dr. Vijay Kumar Varma, Director of the heritage village who accompanied us on the tour of the entire place. We were truly mesmerized by his depth of knowledge of our heritage and culture. His narration about the various paintings, murals, terracotta sculptures and the granite sculptures depicting different mythological stories infused life in the sculptures and enriched our experience. We were also lucky to witness the National Sculpture Symposium where many renowned artisans from all over India had come to showcase their talent. I would also like to mention here about an intern there, Ms.Adithya who is an archeologist and museologist. She also accompanied us and shared some interesting stories about the murals displayed in the mural gallery. Overall it was a day well spent. I would highly recommend people to visit this place to get an opportunity to know about Kerala art and...
