Namba Mylai




(Wares dispalyed in the fest. Sorry if its badly shot i shot it using my mobile and the lightings were poor)
This has been the third consecutive year im attending the mylapore festival. Its a four day carnival that brings out in-depth the culture, hertiage and pride this place holds for a long time now. The most famous streets of mylapore is filled with various different stalls exhibiting various things from trinkets to food to books. One can also have their portrait sketched by experts for a much cheaper price. And for gals, they have lots to see and shop from earings to bags to all decorative stuffs to brighten one's home. The food festival is one thing that shouldn't be missed by those who love south indian food. For food lovers you can make a beeline here to whet your appetite. When one lane is adorned with artifacts, the other lane has a beautiful setup of a stage where dramas, light music and other shows are staged. The whole milieu will give an atavistic feeling about the carnival held in rural areas. So for all those who are unaware of this fest do try to catch up every year held just a week ahead of Pongal.
