Our first visit to the Heritage Gramas of Palakkad. It presented us with rare glimpses of village life, frozen in time for centuries. Houses in rows with wooden shutters and metal grills in each lane leading to temples. The State has done well to accord Heritage status already to one of the villages to help conserve their unique culture, tradition and lifestyle; prohibiting in the process major architectural changes or rebuilding. Steeped in Vedic culture, these villages boast of a large number of scholars of the Vedas aside from producing stalwarts in Indian Administrative - Civil services.
We were delighted to receive the vibrant vidyarthis from a Vedic Gurukul at our satsang. When the scheduled tabla player failed to show up, one of the Gurukul students promptly filled the slot and astonished us with his able percussion support!
