The Sapeh looked like a mix between a Guitar and Veena. The stage lighting was strong and I liked the monochrome rendition.

This sculpture was hidden among the encroachments but revealed once they’re cleared recently. It’s a rare sculpture depicting the mythical story where Lord Shiva slayed a demon that came in the form of elephant. This Puthu Mandapam was built during the early 1620 CE Nayak rule.
