Online inauguration of the project ‘Marangalum Nattile Kathakalum’ on Tuesday
The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) is set to launch a project to link heritage trees across Palakkad district with ethnic stories and folk tales of the respective areas. The project named ‘Marangalum Nattile Kathakalum’ will identify, document and propagate the human stories of heritage trees across the district.
The project, being chalked out in association with Bharat Earth Movers Ltd (BEML), will be an attempt to invoke the stories in which large local trees of heritage value play an inseparable part in the lives of local communities. “We are planning to reconnect people to their important local trees or ‘nattumaram’,” said INTACH convener Arun Narayanan and senior member J.G. Menon.
