I am a handicraft designer working with rural producer groups and GRRC is one of my favourite organizations. Brother Shanti and Kumar are such inspiring individuals that my visits to Alampoondi leave me recharged. I am me very happy to see the lovely pictures and read your impressions and hear other friends of GRRC.

Thanks for the information that they have a website now.

Just returned from the inagural rituals of the new Shiva temple At Alampoondi(native place of my grand father,late Sampoorna sastriar).
Must admit that the place has a mesmerising effect on me, since this is my very first vist to the village.

It goes without saying that I enjoyed myself throughly when I was there.Look forward to taking my children and wife along the next time around.

  dear Mr.Ravi, If you visit the Siva Temple now, you will feel very happy and elated as we have erected Compound all around, installed Sri Anjaneya, Sri Kaali, and presently we are erecting a Kalyana Mandapam in front of A/M.Mangalaambigai Sannathi for the benefit of devotees to celebrate marriages, etc. Also we are raising funds for all these activities. You may contact me on 09840073718 for more info. V.Dhandapany.

When I was young I used to go to Alampoondi(from Tiruvannamalai)
to meet my aunt Mrs. Cellammal, her husband a school teacher and her children Nagarajan, Dhandapani.
Sarasa and others. It is a loving memory and really I like the village.
Now I am a Canadian citizen.
