In the initial week, our focus will be on delving into Chapter VI of the Maṇimēkalai,
specifically the captivating Cakkaravāḷakkōṭṭuraitta
kātai. This segment intricately unfolds the renowned depiction of burial
grounds and the associated customs observed on the outskirts of Pukār.

the 11th Tirumuṟai
The subsequent week will be dedicated to the exploration of various Śaiva
devotional songs from the 11th Tirumuṟai, thoughtfully
selected by Indra Manuel.
Program Format
The workshop will follow our usual format, featuring a double morning session
characterized by the exposition of the text complemented by repetition
exercises conducted by the students. Additionally, a couple of parallel reading
sessions will be organised during the afternoons.
