Kottakarai Celebration
On on 15th August local villages around Auroville joyfully celebrated Indian independence day, an anniversary which fell on Sri Arobindo’s 137th birth anniversary. One of the neighboring villages located very close to Auroville’s greenbelt, called Kottakarai, participated enthusiastically in this unique celebration. Accordingly, women’s groups from the village in conjunction with school students organized sports and other activities to encourage people from the village to get involved. Sudhakar interviewed some Tamil participants who were involved in these events, and AurovilleRadio has happily uploaded this program for everyone to hear.
