Tragically, entire town was destroyed during the 1964 cyclone and the buildings were left in ruins, not rebuilt.

One of the hills where Jain monks lived; and the beds they carved still exist.

It was outskirts of the town filled with dwellings of working class people but it occured to someone there to have a statue for one of the greatest modern tamil poet, Mahakavi Bharati, however modest and haphazardly done with the cement, it was still a wonderful sight.

They love to be photographed. They are quite content to play with simple items like worn out cycle tyres.

It was an exhilarating view from top of the hills; I also imagined how one would see the hills from the moving train.
