Heritage walk rekindles glory of Srirangam

The heritage walk organised by the Department of Tourism on the occasion of World Tourism Day at Srirangam received good response on Sunday.

Sub Collector (training) Rahul Raghavan flagged off the walk. A large number of volunteers, heritage enthusiasts, tour organisers, and others took part in the walk that began at Rajagopuram and culminated at Vellaigopuram.

The students of Seethalakshmi Ramaswami College walked along the streets in Srirangam.

It served as an opportunity to rekindle the heritage of the Chithirai Streets and the historic Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, the cultural nerve centre of the region. Participants, including students, history enthusiasts and tourists, were taken around the four Chithirai Streets that define the temple town’s unique urban planning.
