Trails of Tamirabharani unravels the many aspects of ‘porunai’ landscape
A book titled ‘Trails of Tamirabharani’ co-authored by Collector V. Vishnu, a wildlife enthusiast and trekker, and four others was released here on Saturday.
It captures the myriad hues of the landscape, the travails, heritage and prosperity of the region. Ainthinai captures the five landscapes of Tirunelveli from the mountains to the shores, while Panpadu reminisces the symbols of past glory. Varalaru offers a glimpse into the transition from Tinnevelly to present Tirunelveli and Vazhviyal is a narrative of its people, culture and livelihood.
“When we speak of history of Tirunelveli, one can refer only to Bishop Robert Caldwell’s ‘History of Tinnevelly’ published in 1881. In ‘Trails of Tamirabharani,’ the many aspects of ‘Porunai’ (Tamirabharani) landscape have been portrayed through old and new pictures,” says Mr. Vishnu.
