The Village and Minnie

The minnie is my creative sister's creation, a rangoli with colored rock Salt. The vallampati village has lots to talk about. There's a family celebrating pongal replete with the cow and pongal cooking. A Kuravan and kurathi are just entering the village selling paasi mani. In the farmers nook you can see a lady weeding the rice fields, with the zamindar surpervising. There is one more returning back after ploughing his feild with the ox. Since It is pongal time, many crops have been harvested, there men are thrashing, winnowing, packing grais in a sack and carrying it to the godown. Oh yes you have the village common well which has the women carying water, washing and busy gossiping. Then there is the arasa marathu adi pillayar which is not visible here.
