Iniyavai Narpadhu rally photos – Sendhamizh Manadu Kovai 2010

Today, 23rd of June 2010, there was a procession on the theme ‘Iniyavai Narpadhu’ {Sweet 40 things} which is basically a rally with statues and models (oorvalam) about Tamil language, culture, icons, civilization, folk arts, musical instruments, etc. from VOC Park in Coimbatore to the CODISSIA grounds where the Ulaga Thamizh Semmozhi Manadu (World Classical Tamil Meet) is being organised. The procession went through the Avinashi Road and there were huge crowds all along the way to watch it. Since I was also one of the crowd members, I hereby share some of the photo’s that I was able to click from there. Enjoy :).

    Interesting pictures! Thanks for posting!

    Yeah, it was a difficult job to take off the photos that I was not going to publish… Thanks for your comment…

    Nice Photos. But, I see nothing special in this rally. It was like Republic Day Celebrations at Chennai. Very Simple. I thought that it would have been like Olympic Inaguration Function, so grand with many fireworks. Below Average prepartions.
    Only good thing is that, Kovai got improved. Karunanidhi did this only to grab the votes of Konku caste people. Because, DMK allies lost severely in Kovai at Parliament Elections!

    The theme of a republic day function or an Olympics are quite different from this one… For this theme, I thought it was a good show and besides its not every day that Coimbatore gets to see a rally like this in Avinashi Road!!

    I am not sure about the political impetus or connections… but whatever they be, if politics and power are the drivers behind such an event and can make such grand preparations possible, let it be….

    Thanks 😀 😀 😀

    For me it was easy…

  6. Swaram

    Reminds me of Dasara celebrations @ Mysore 🙂

    I wanted to visit the Dushera celebrations in Mysore when I was in Bangalore but was not possible, but Mysore is near to Cbe as well… so hopefully :)…

    How were you able to take photos so clearly in that crowd? Very nice. I saw most of these cars and you filled in which I missed. Thank you.

    I liked the theme, reminded me of my school Tamil books! Otherwise we wouldn't know about Paari Vallal, Karikaal Chozhan etc. Uma Padmanabhan gave a good Tamil commentary in TV. And James Vasanthan (I think) spoke in English. One 'special reporter' spoke 'galgal' Tamil! Still the procession was nice to watch. The two families of Karunanidhi were highlighted too!

    Would like to hear some good speeches. Mr.SG said that one American Tamil Scholar is participating – to talk on Sangath thamizh.

    Since I do not have a TV in my house, not able to follow the Thamizh Manadu! But there is no time either, so no regrets!! How I wish I could revisit those school non-detailed text book times and re-read all that prose! Hmmm…

  11. Ashwathy

    Lovely 🙂 reminds me of the float/parade we have in kerala for onam…

    Oh, never knew about that… do let me know when and where it is held, and I will try to catch up with it…

    Great pictures! And a nice choice of themes.

    Narayanan

    Thanks, I mean to the organizers too… 🙂

  13. Reema

    great snaps! why didnt u use the slideshow feature?

    That's a good idea – didn't think about it! Will use it in the future. But posting them individually lets people download some photos if they want…

    Hey hey..Real time coverage of the great event..Only Hindu had pictures of the event.. All Tamilians can be proud of their language..

    Here,malayalis have transformed themselves to ugly mallus and are proud of being the same.. Just a border apart,i hope these mallus will learn from tamizh makkal…

    Actually I keep visiting Kerala sometimes and my opinion is exactly the reverse!! 🙂 Actually, I dream of settling down in Eranakulam 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Excellent collections!! I felt I missed this event, but not really after visiting this page. Good job!!

    Today, I found out that all these statues were kept just outside the venue of Senthamizh Manadu… I could have got better pictures of them, if only I had more time!!

  16. priya

    well… looking at the 20th pic…where a guy is sitting below a tree and a hand offers to…. reminds me of the michelangelo's famous painting "The creation of Adam"…i have given the link below to have a better look at the picture… http://www.123coimbatore.com/imagegallery.php?id=

    Can anyone tell me what that picture portrays in our sangam tamil period???? i dunno abt the rest .. but this pic is surely a thing to looked upon..

    Actually I wanted to take both together… but the Van moved fast and was able to focus only one! Not sure about what the picture portrays – it would have been better if the organisers had developed a website detailing about each of the exhibits in the rally…

    All pictures are verry nice Thank you for your presentation

    Thanks, my pleasure…

    Excellent pictures. Thanks for sharing. I live in California. Here a friend of mine, George Hart, is head of the Tamil Departemnt at the University of California at Berkeley. He was a speaker in that conference in Coimbatore.

    I have also read that name in a few Tamil magazines… I guess he was involved in determining the age of the language… not sure though. Wish I had more time to involve myself in the various activities of the conference and get to know more about it…

    The photos selected for the event is superb and the presentation excellent, i feel sorry for not having participated in the mega event.
