If visiting Chettinad and experiencing the region’s rich culture, flavourful cuisine, and extravagant architecture has been on your to-do list for way too long, the upcoming Chettinad Heritage and Cultural Festival is a good place to start.
Curated by noted Bharatanatyam artiste Leela Samson, the four-day festival to be held next month will bring to the fore literary talks, dance and musical performances. “The main idea is to draw attention to the heritage properties of Chettinad and our cultural moorings which are well-maintained in a district like Chettinad and its surrounding areas like Pudukkottai,” says Leela of the event that is all set to be held in the architecturally stunning Chettiar mansions and massive courtyards, as well as in open air spaces.
