Mann Vaasam – Fragrance of the Soil

MANN VAASAM – FRAGRANCE OF THE SOIL

Curated By Leela Samson

Art is a reflection of human emotions. Human emotions are based on the lifestyle, society, profession, natural atmosphere  and the fertility of the particular land. Tamil culture speaks of five different landscapes that divide the profession and lifestyle of people, according to the region they live in. Fertile land, mountain, forest, seashore and desert were the five landscapes. Based on these divisions, music and dance were nurtured in these areas.

We find that these art forms are gateways to learn and understand the golden days of Tamil culture. As each soil emits a different fragrance once it receives rain drops, the art form of each of these regions, portrays varying lifestyles. It reminds and rekindles in us, the joy of our birthplace.

Join us for Mann Vaasam – Fragrance of the Soil  to experience the folklore of Tamil Nadu.
