Mylapore Times photographer Madhan Kumar spotted these sparrows off the beach of last week. Local residents said that a good number of sparrows descend on this area every day, to feed. In times when sparrows are rarely seen in the city, the sight of so many sparrows makes good news. 2 MYLAPORE TIMES Aug 26 - Sep 1, 2017

Aadi! Aadi celebrations in the Mylapore continue. And in and around the amman temples, they are big and grand and loud. This past week, the fire walking ritual in the environs of Sri Mundaga- kannai Amman Temple in Mylapore drew over 500 people. August 20 morning. A bunch of men dropped burning coals on the mud and tar surface just outside the gate of the Amman tem- ple; traffic on this busy road had been closed and people massed up quickly. To the wave of prayers and chants, men and women walked into the coal fire stretch, some 15 feet long, some in a trance. Some women carried their babies in their hands. Some men deliberated on the burning coals. The ritual was over quickly and prasadam was given to all who had assembled here.

ANNUAL DAY OF P. S. SENIOR P. S. Senior Secondary School, Mylapore is celebrat- Bharat matha ing its 41st annual day on Aug 26 at Narada Gana Sabha, Alwarpet. N. Rangachary, former chairman - CBDT, is the chief guest. S. Saketharaman, alumnus of in a temple the school, is the guest of honour. T. S. Krishnamurthy, president, P. S. Educational Society, will preside. By Nivedita Louis At 4.30 p.m.

Have you taken a close look at some of the sculptures of Sri Kapali Temple? Here is one that may surprise you. A cheeky sculptor who chiseled furtively, a beautiful sculpture of Bharat matha. It is seen in the dhwajaro- hana mandapam of this temple. On one of the Mylapore temple walks with historian Venkatesh Ramakrishnan, we came across this wonderful sculpture. It is an exact replica of a wall poster printed by Nagpur City Press - the Bharat Matha with a crown on her flow- ing hair, clad in a saree, resting her left hand on a seated, decorated elephant, her right hand holding a trishul, tied to which is the tricolor flag. It is interesting to note that the mandapam was a later addition to the temple, built in 1939, by Kaatu- palli Paiyur K. N. Shanmuga Mudaliar. That was when India’s freedom struggle was at its peak and the world was at the threshold or probably had entered World War II. The sculptor who did the work proved his love for the motherland, undetected under the watchful eyes of the British, with this sculpture.
